The tutorial offers a step-by-step walkthrough, helping you create adaptable and reusable components by effectively using props and the map() function.

Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command:

cd foldername

Javascript




import React from "react";
 
class App extends React.Component {
    getComponent = (arr) => {
        return arr.map((value) => (
            <button
                key={value}
                onClick={() => {
                    alert("button " + value + " is clicked");
                }}
            >
                {value}{" "}
            </button>
        ));
    };
 
    render() {
        const components =
            this.getComponent([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
        return <div>{components}</div>;
