5. Under the hood: React

Entire React code base explanation by visual block schemes. Each scheme is clickable and can be opened in a new tab, use that to zoom it and be able to read from it

GitHub logo Bogdan-Lyashenko / Under-the-hood-ReactJS

Entire React code base explanation by visual block schemes (Stack version)

Under the hood: React

This repository contains an explanation of inner work of React. In fact, I was debugging through the entire code base and put all the logic on visual block-schemes, analyzed them, summarized and explained main concepts and approaches. I've already finished with Stack version and now I work with the next, Fiber version.

I wanted to automate process of "learning and documenting" a complex codebase as much as possible, so I started Codecrumbs project. It will help to build projects like "Under the hood ReactJs" in a shorter time and in a simpler way!

Each scheme is clickable and can be opened in a new tab, use that to zoom it and be able to read from it. Keep the article and a scheme you are reading about at that moment in separate windows (tabs), that will help to match text and code flow easier.
