Code Block Components

A Code Block Component in React is a reusable piece of code that specifically displays code snippets within your React application.

It offers a significant upgrade over using the basic HTML <pre> and <code> tags for the following reasons:

Okay, let's go to the next part.

· Lay the Foundation: Start with a basic React component utilizing <pre> and <code> elements.

· Embrace Syntax Highlighting: Integrate a library like Prism.js or React Syntax Highlighter to transform plain text into beautifully colored code. Remember to include the language definition for the code you'll showcase.

· Props for Flexibility: Empower your component with props for ultimate control:

• language: Specify the programming language for accurate highlighting.
  
• showLineNumbers: Enable or disable line numbers for readability.
  
• className: Attach custom CSS classes for styling magic.
  
• copyButton: (Optional) Allow users to easily copy the code with a click.

This example demonstrates a simple reusable button component:

import React from 'react';

const Button = ({ text, onClick, className }) => {
  return (
    <button className={className} onClick={onClick}>
      {text}
    </button>
  );
};

export default Button;

This component accepts props for the button text, click handler function, and optional custom CSS class for styling. You can then use this component throughout your application:

import Button from './Button';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const handleClick = () => {
    console.log('Button clicked!');
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <Button
      	text="Click Me"
      	onClick={handleClick}
      />
      <Button
		text="Welcome to SHIFT ASIA"
		onClick={() => console.log('SHIFT ASIA')}
        className="primary-button"
	  />
    </div>
  );
};

· Save Time and Effort: No need to write repetitive code for displaying code snippets!

· Maintain Consistency: Reusable components ensure a uniform look and feel for code display across your entire application.

·  Improved User Experience:Interactive elements and beautiful formatting make it a joy for users to explore code within your React app.

By creating reusable Code Block Components, you save time, ensure consistency, and elevate the user experience with interactive and informative code displays.
