ReactJS className Attribute
React.js library is all about splitting the app into several components. Each Component has its own lifecycle. React provides us some in-built methods that we can override at particular stages in the life-cycle of the component.
In class-based components, the className attribute is used to set or return the value of an element’s class attribute. Using this property, the user can change the class of an element to the desired class.

function getClassNameAttribute() {
var element = document.getElementsByClassName( 'gfg' );
console.log(element)
