Apply your knowledge of JSX to React components.

Components and Advanced JSX

How might you use a *conditional* statement inside of a function component?

Select **TodaysPlan.js** to see one way of doing it.
   
Notice that the `if` statement is located *inside* of the function component, but *before* the `return` statement. 

Use a Conditional in a Function Component

Take a look at this JavaScript object named `redPanda`:

```js
const redPanda = {
  src: 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b2/Endangered_Red_Panda.jpg',
  alt: 'Red Panda',
  width: '200px'
};
```

How could you render a React component with an image of `redPanda` and its properties?

Select **RedPanda.js** to see one way to do this.

Note all the curly brace JavaScript injections inside the `return` statement. You can, and often will, inject JavaScript into JSX inside the `return` statement.

Use a Variable Attribute in a Component

Your function components can include event handlers. With event handlers, we can run some code in response to interactions with the interface, such as clicking. 
 
```js
function MyComponent(){
  function handleHover() {
    alert('Stop it.  Stop hovering.');
  }
  return <div onHover={handleHover}></div>;
}
```  

In the above example, the event handler is `handleHover()`. It is passed as a prop to the JSX element `<div>`. We'll discuss more on props in a later lesson, but for now, understand that props are information passed to a JSX tag. 
 
The logic for what should happen when the `<div>` is hovered on is contained inside the `handleHover()` function. The function is then passed to the `<div>` element.

Event handler functions are defined inside the function component and, by convention, start with the word "handle" followed by the type of event it is handling. 
 
There's a small quirk you should watch out for. Take a look at this line again:
 
```js
return <div onHover={handleHover}></div>
```

The `handleHover()` function is passed without the parentheses we would typically see when calling a function. This is because passing it as `handleHover` indicates it should only be called once the event has happened. Passing it as `handleHover()` would trigger the function immediately, so be careful!

Event Listener and Event Handlers in a Component

Congratulations! You have finished the lesson on React components.

Here's a short recap of the concepts introduced in this lesson:
* Function components can return multiple JSX lines by nesting the elements in a parent element.
* Variable attributes can be used inside of a React component with JavaScript injections.
* React components support logic by putting the logic statements above the return statements. 
* Components can conditionally return JSX elements by putting conditional statements inside of the components.
* Components can respond to events by defining event handlers and passing them to the JSX elements.
 
Great job on tackling these complex topics! You have spent a lot of time studying React components in isolation! Now, it's time to learn how components fit into the world around them. 

Review

In this lesson, you will learn some common ways that JSX and React components work together. You'll get more comfortable with both JSX and React components while picking up some new tricks. 
 
Take a look at this HTML:

```html
<blockquote>
  <p>
    The world is full of objects, more or less interesting; I do not wish to add any more.
  </p>
  <cite>
    <a target="_blank"
      href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Huebler">
      Douglas Huebler
    </a>
  </cite>
</blockquote>
```    

How might you make a React component return this HTML?

Select **QuoteMaker.js** to see one way of doing it.

The key thing to notice in `QuoteMaker` is the parentheses in the `return` statement, on lines 4 and 16. Until now, your function component `return` statements have looked like this, without any parentheses:

```js
return <h1>Hello world</h1>;
```

However, a multi-line JSX expression should always be wrapped in parentheses! That is why `QuoteMaker`'s return statement has parentheses around it.

Use Multiline JSX in a Component

A function component must have a `return` statement. However, that isn't *all* that it can have. 

You can also put simple calculations that need to happen before returning your JSX element within the function component. 

Here's an example of some calculations that can be done inside a function component: 

```js
function RandomNumber() {
  //First, some logic that must happen before returning
  const n = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10 + 1);
  //Next, a return statement using that logic: 
  return <h1>{n}</h1>
}
```

Watch out for this common mistake: 

```js
function RandomNumber() {
  return (
    const n = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10 + 1);
    <h1>{n}</h1>
  )
}
```

In the above example, the line with the `const n` declaration will cause a syntax error, as it should come before the `return`.
