function Navbar() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <Popup trigger={<Button>Hover me</Button>} position="left center">
        Click me!!!
      </Popup>
      <br />
      <br />
      <Button primary />
      <Button positive />
      <Button negative />
      <Button secondary />
    </div>
  )
}
export default Navbar;

5. Animate On Scroll (AOS)

The Animate on Scroll (AOS) library is very powerful, with the help of which we can apply animation to the layout of our website. This animation is triggered when a user scrolls while visiting the website.

Features and benefits:

• With AOS, you can easily apply effects like fade, flip, and more to any element on your website. You can also customize the duration and delay of animations, specifying when and how they activate. For instance, you can animate elements when they scroll into view or become visible in the viewport.

• One of the main advantages of AOS is its simplicity and efficiency. You can quickly add animations to your project using just a few lines of code.

• Overall, AOS works easily even on low-powered devices due to the minimal code.

Usage:

To install the AOS library in your project, you can use the following command:

// with npm 👇
npm install aos --save

// with yarn 👇
yarn add aos

After installation, you need to import the AOS library and its CSS file into your project.

import React from 'react'
import AOS from 'aos';
import 'aos/dist/aos.css';

function Navbar() {
  AOS.init();
  return (
    <div >
      <h1 data-aos="fade-up" data-aos-duration="500">Hello World</h1>
      <p data-aos="fade-right" data-aos-duration="1500">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Dolore, officia!</p>
    </div>
  )
}
export default Navbar;

You can include different animation effects in your project by selecting them from the AOS site.

6. Blueprint UI

With the help of the Blueprint UI library, we can use pre-built UI components like forms, buttons, and icons. These components are reusable, modular, and customizable, allowing us to easily create responsive web interfaces.

Features and benefits:

• This library includes many pre-made components using which we can easily create a website.

• All components are responsive, ensuring that web applications built with Blueprint UI are compatible with various screen sizes and devices.

Usage:

To use the Blueprint UI library in your project, you need to first install it.

// with npm 👇
npm i @blueprintjs/core

// with yarn 👇
yarn add @blueprintjs/core

This library includes many components.

Note that using Blueprint UI in your project requires the use of react-dom and react packages. If your project doesn't have these packages, you can install them using:

npm i react-dom

npm i react

Using the command given below, you can download other additional dependencies for your project as per your project requirements.

npm i @blueprintjs/icons

npm i @blueprintjs/select

npm i @blueprintjs/datetime

npm i @blueprintjs/table

npm i @blueprintjs/timezone

Once you've installed the Blueprint UI library in your project, you can import and use the components you need. Let's see an example where we import and use two components, the button and the callout:

import React from 'react'
import { Button } from "@blueprintjs/core";
import { Callout } from "@blueprintjs/core";

function Navbar() {
  return (
    <div >
      <Callout title="Important information" intent="primary">
        <Button icon="refresh" />
        <p> This is an example of a callout component provided by Blueprint UI. It
          can be used to display important information to the user.</p>
        <Button text="Click Me!!!" />
      </Callout>
    </div>
  )
}
export default Navbar;

7. Styled component

Styled components are very useful for styling React components. It lets developers make reusable and dynamic styles using CSS-in-JS based on component states and props.

Features and benefits:

• Reusable Styles: Styled Components enables developers to create styles that can be reused across the project, keeping styles organized without duplication.

• Server-Side Rendering: Supports server-side rendering, improving performance and accessibility by pre-rendering styles on the server. Compatible with React Native.

• Integration: This can be used alongside other styling libraries and frameworks, offering flexibility for styling React components.

• Familiar Syntax: It uses familiar syntax and structure, making it easy for developers familiar with CSS and JavaScript to use.

Usage:

To install styled components in your project, use the following command:

// with npm 👇
npm i styled-components

// with yarn 👇
yarn add styled-components

After installing the styled-components library, you can style components by using the same HTML tag names within the styled function.

const Button = styled.button`
       background-color: ${props => (props.primary ? 'teal' : 'crimson')};
       color: #fff;
       padding: 10px 20px;
       border-radius: 5px;
       font-size: 18px;
       margin-right:10px;
       transition: all 0.3s ease;
       &:hover {
        background-color: ${props => (props.primary ? 'black' : 'black')};
        cursor: pointer; }`;

function Navbar() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Button primary>Hover Me!!!</Button>
      <Button> Hover Me!!!</Button>
    </div>
  )
}
export default Navbar;

The button's style is determined by the primary prop, changing the background color based on its value. Additionally, a hover effect is applied. Styles are written inside backticks ( ) and can be used like any React component.

8. React 360

React 360 is actually the framework that is used to create 360-degree, 3D, and VR. Before using it, you need to have knowledge of React, JavaScript, some 3D graphics, and WebGL.

Features and benefits:

• It is easy to create interactive UI for different platforms, like VR headsets, mobile devices, web browsers, etc.

• Touch controller, VR controller, and mouse controller events are all supported in this framework, allowing us to easily create interactive UIs.

Usage:

To use React 360, you need to install it on your project first.

// with npm 👇
npm i react-360-view

// with yarn 👇
yarn add react-360-view

After installing React 360, you need to import the ThreeSixty component from the react-360-view package into your project file. Additionally, if you require icons, you can import the Font Awesome CDN link into your CSS file.

Below is a simple React 360 example for your reference:

import React from 'react';
import ThreeSixty from 'react-360-view'

function Navbar() {
  return (
    <div className='container'>
      <div style={{ width: '30%', border: '2px solid gray', margin: '20px', position: 'relative' }}>
        <ThreeSixty
          amount={36}
          imagePath="https://scaleflex.airstore.io/demo/chair-360-36"
          fileName="chair_{index}.jpg?v1"
          loop />
        <div className="v360-header">
          <span className="v360-header-title">360° Rotate Chair</span>
        </div>
      </div>
      <h2 className='rotate'>
        <img style={{ width: '30%' }} src="https://codemafias.com/img/post_imgs/1675398818791.png" alt="" />
      </h2>
    </div>
  )
}
export default Navbar;

Once you're comfortable with the basics, you can explore adding interactivity and animations to your components using React 360's event handling and animation APIs.

You can learn more about the advanced functionality of React 360 by visiting its official website and reading the documentation.

9. Zustand

Previously, React developers used Redux or React Context API for state management. But with React v16, React Context emerged as an alternative.

Using the Zustand library, you can simplify state management. Zustand provides Redux-like features in a simplified way, allowing easy state management through a component tree.

Features and benefits:

• Simple API: Zustand provides a straightforward API, making it easy to understand and use for state management in React, even for beginners.

• Lightweight: Zustand is a lightweight library that doesn't significantly increase application overhead, making it suitable for small to medium-sized applications.

• Functional Components Compatibility: Zustand is designed to work well with functional-based React components, offering seamless integration.

Usage:

To use the Zustand library, you need to install it in your project first.

// with npm 👇
npm i zustand

// with yarn 👇
yarn add zustand

After installation, you can start using the Zustand library.

import create from 'zustand';

const countState = create(set => ({
  count: 0,
  increment: () => set(state => ({ count: state.count + 1 })),
  decrement: () => set(state => ({ count: state.count - 1 }))
}))

function Navbar() {
  const { count, increment, decrement } = countState()
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Count: {count}</h1>
      <button onClick={increment}> +Increment </button>
      <button onClick={decrement}> -Decrement </button>
    </div>
  )
}
export default Navbar;

As shown in the example above, instead of using a countState provider to pass state to your components, you can define state using a hook and directly access state variables and methods within React components.

The Zustand library is a better choice for smaller projects.

10. React Hook Form

With the help of the React Hook Form Library, we can easily create forms in React. Checking inputs and handling errors without it can be a pain.

With React Hook Form, you get this handy hook called "useForm." It's like a magic wand for creating and managing forms of all shapes and sizes.

Features and benefits:

• Error handling is simplified with helpful tools that indicate mistakes in input fields.

• Form inputs and validation rules can be defined once and reused across multiple forms.

• Designed to work efficiently with server-side rendering, ensuring speedy and SEO-optimized forms.

Usage:

To use the React Hook Form library, you first need to install it in your project.

// with npm 👇
npm i react-hook-form

// with yarn 👇
yarn add react-hook-form

After installation, import the useForm hook from react-hook-form into your React component within your project. Here's an example of how to use the React Hook Form:

import React from 'react';
import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';

function Navbar() {

  const { register, handleSubmit, formState: { errors } } = useForm();
  const onSubmit = data => console.log(data);

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Login Form</h1>
      <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
        <input name='email' placeholder='Email'{...register("email", { required: true })} /><br /><br />
        <input name='password' placeholder='Password' {...register("password", { maxLength: 30 })} />
        {errors.email && <p>Email is required</p>}
        {errors.password && <p>Password is to long</p>}
        <br /><br />
        <button type='submit'>Submit</button>
      </form>
    </div>
  );
}

export default Navbar;

Suppose you try to submit a password longer than 30 characters or without entering an email. In that case, you'll receive two errors: "Please input your email" for missing email and "Password is too long" for exceeding 30 characters. React Hook Form simplifies form validation in React with minimal code.

Conclusion

All the libraries given above have their own functionality, which makes creating websites easier. It makes it faster and easier to create tasks like UI design, state management, form validation, and more. You can use any library as per your project requirements, which will help you master React.
