react-syntax-highlighter VS create-react-app

The OpenAI API returns responses in Markdown format. To display responses from the chat, which contain formatting, I used the ReactMarkdown component. For code inserts, I used React Syntax Highlighter.

You have variation of themes for react-syntax-highlighter depending if you are using hljs or prisma. Here you can find all available themes for hljs and for prisma.

react-syntax-highlighter I used this to highlight code segments when the app steps through the code.

For code highlighting, I used react syntax highlighter.

React has a huge amount of components that can help us with both of these. I decided to use react-zoom-pan-pinch for image zoom and react-syntax-highlighter for syntax highlight.

react-syntax-highlighter: Syntax highlighting component for React.

The above code will render our code snippet where the {value} tag is. And we are setting a few properties to our Syntax Highlighter such as style & showLineNumbers. For a full list of properties, check out the GitHub Readme for react-syntax-highlighter.

Here React Markdown, React Syntax Highlighter and the Remark GFM plugin is used. React Markdown helps with parsing markdown and Remark GFM adds support for GitHub Flavoured Markdown. React Syntax Highlighter does syntax highlighting for code snippets in a comment.

Create React App (CRA) abstracts away the complexity of configuring Webpack, Babel, and other build tools, allowing developers to focus on writing React code. It includes features such as hot module reloading for efficient development.

Immerse yourself in the official Create React App documentation for a deeper understanding.

Create React App (https://create-react-app.dev/)

- And ofc, there are some templates/frameworks that bring something of that together (https://create-react-app.dev/; maybe https://vitejs.dev/) - google for templates.

I recommend finding some friend with modern experience or at least some youtube tutorials or at least some learning course. That would help you to catch up on the best way to bootstrap your first project. Then you can practice.

What's the connection?
