Creating React Application And Installing Module

• Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:

  npx create-react-app foldername

• Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command:

  cd foldername

• Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the required module using the following command:

  npm install react-desktop

Project Structure: It will look like the following.

Example: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here, App is our default component where we have written our code.

import React from 'react'
import { TextInput } from 'react-desktop/macOs';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div style={{
      display: 'block', width: 700, paddingLeft: 30
    }}>
      <h4>React Desktop macOS TextInput Component</h4>
      <TextInput
        color="white"
        width="300"
        label="Enter your Name"
        placeholder="Enter your Name"
        onChange={(e)=> { console.log(e)}}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:

npm start

Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:
