getting started with the react floating action button

getting started with react floating action button

a floating action button (fab) is a circular button that triggers a primary action in your application. in react, you can easily implement a fab using various libraries or by creating a custom component. this tutorial will guide you through creating a simple fab using react.

prerequisites

1. basic understanding of react.

step 1: set up a react application

first, create a new react application using create react app:

```bash
npx create-react-app react-fab-example
cd react-fab-example
```

step 2: install material-ui (optional)

while you can create a fab from scratch with css, using a library like material-ui can simplify the process. to install material-ui, run:

```bash
npm install @mui/material @emotion/react @emotion/styled
```

step 3: create the floating action button component

now, let’s create a simple fab component. you can either use material-ui's `fab` component or create your own.

**using material-ui:**

2. import the necessary components and icons from material-ui.
3. create the fab component in the render method.

here’s an example:

```jsx
import react from 'react';

function app() {
const handleclick = () = {
alert('fab clicked!');
};

return (
div classname="app"
h1react floating action button example/h1
fab
color="primary"
aria-label="add"
onclick={handleclick}
style={{ position: 'fixed', bottom: 20, right: 20 }}

addicon /
/fab
/div
);
}

export default app;
```

step 4: style the fab (if not using material-ui)

if you prefer to create a custom fab without material-ui, you can define your own styles using css. here’s how you can do it:

1. create a new component file for the fab.

```jsx
// src/floatin ...
