Learn how to build a simple notes app using React in this beginner’s tutorial. You’ll create components like a form, note, header, and display note, and add CRUD functionality to manage notes.

export default Note;Throughout the tutorial, you’ll learn key concepts like how to use React props and state to manage data and update the UI, how to handle user input with forms, and how to add basic styling to your components. You’ll also learn how to implement basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality to add, edit, and delete notes.
