React.dev
The React documentation website
Overview
The react.dev repository contains source code and documentation for the website. Users will require Git, Node 12.x or higher, Yarn, a fork of the repository for contributions, and a local clone of the react.dev repo. The installation process involves navigating to the project root, installing dependencies with Yarn, and running the development server with the 'yarn dev' command.
Features
- React Components Hot-Reload: Changes to React components in the source folder will hot-reload for faster development iteration.
- Markdown Files Hot-Reload: Changes to markdown files in the content directory will hot-reload, ensuring quicker updates.
- Contributing Guidelines: Detailed guidelines are provided for contributing, including branch creation, making changes, testing, and pushing code.
Summary
The react.dev repository provides a comprehensive guide for users to contribute to the website. It outlines the prerequisites, installation process, running the development server, and contributing guidelines. By following these steps, users can efficiently make changes, test them, and contribute to the react.dev project.

- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- MDX
MDX is a format that allows developers to write JSX within Markdown documents, combining the power of React with the simplicity of Markdown. This allows for the creation of dynamic and interactive content that can be easily shared and consumed across different platforms and devices.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
