What is a Stateless Functional Component in React

What is a Stateless Functional Component?

A stateless component is one that can recive data and render it, but it does not manage the provided data or track changes to it. 

This method creates a javascript function that returns JSX or null. Which is also known as a component or JSX component (or a react component?).

React also requires that you start the function name with a Capital Letter, which seems very picky. 

So you cant have a function called myFunction it has to be called MyFunction.

When testing this i could not get it to render properly, as i think you have to call the function within < and > according to this document

so rather than this to render the MyComponent function

ReactDOM.render(MyComponent, document.getElementById('root')) 

it becomes this

ReactDOM.render(<MyComponent />, document.getElementById('root'))

just testing this using the react browser tools, and it registers as a component!

HTML

<div id="root"></div>

Do you want to be right or happy? You can’t be both.

Suggests that in many situations - especially in relationships or arguments - insisting on being right can come at the cost of harmony or peace of mind. It implies that prioritizing your ego or the need to win an argument may damage relationships or personal contentment, whereas letting go of that need (even if you’re technically right) may lead to greater happiness.

Random CSS Property

scroll-margin-bottom

The scroll-margin-bottom property defines the bottom margin of the scroll snap area that is used for snapping this box to the snapport. The scroll snap area is determined by taking the transformed border box, finding its rectangular bounding box (axis-aligned in the scroll container's coordinate space), then adding the specified outsets.
