# Basic Syntax

## These two are equivalent

**Using const syntax for javascript**

```javascript
const logHelloWorld = () => {
    console.log("Hello World");
}
```

**Using function syntax for javascript**

```javascript
function logHelloWorld() {
    console.log("Hello World");
}
```

## These two are equivalent

**Using const syntax for JSX**

```jsx
const App = () => {
    return (
        <View>
            <Text>This is an app</Text>
        </View>
    );
}
```

**Using function syntax for JSX**

```jsx
function App() {
    return (
        <View>
            <Text>This is an app</Text>
        </View>
    );
}
```

## These two are equivalent

**Closing tag for components that do not encapsulate anything**

```jsx
function App() {
    return (
        <Button title="Press Me"></Button>
    );
}
```

**Self-closing tag for components that do not encapsulate anything**

```jsx
function App() {
    return (
        <Button title="Press Me" />
    );
}
```

## These three are equivalent

**Nesting components together**

```jsx
const MainComponent = () => {
    return (
        <View>
            <View>
                <Text>Subcomponent one</Text>
            </View>
            <View>
                <Text>Subcomponent two</Text>
            </View>
        </View>
    );
}
```

**Extracting the components into their own components within the same page**

```jsx
const MainComponent = () => {
    return (
        <View>
            <SubComponentOne />
            <SubComponentTwo />
        </View>
    );
}

const SubComponentOne = () => {
    return (
        <View>
            <Text>Subcomponent one</Text>
        </View>
    );
}

const SubComponentTwo = () => {
    return (
        <View>
            <Text>Subcomponent two</Text>
        </View>
    );
}
```

**Extracting the components into their own components into other files, export them and importing them for use**

```jsx
// index.jsx
import SubComponentOne from "./component-one.jsx"
import SubComponentTwo from "./component-two.jsx"

const MainComponent = () => {
    return (
        <View>
            <SubComponentOne />
            <SubComponentTwo />
        </View>
    );
}

// component-one.jsx
const SubComponentOne = () => {
    return (
        <View>
            <Text>Subcomponent one</Text>
        </View>
    );
}
export default SubComponentOne;

// component-two.jsx
const SubComponentTwo = () => {
    return (
        <View>
            <Text>Subcomponent two</Text>
        </View>
    );
}
export default SubComponentTwo;
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.nushackers.org/orbital/react-native/basic-syntax.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
