Table of contents

• Install and create a new React app.
• Import react component.
• Create a Component.

Let’s start with the first step.

Step 1: Install and create a new React app.

First you have to install the React project. You should use create-react-app command to create a new React project.

npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start

Step 2: Import react component.

After installing, you have to import your React component. To do this, add the following line to the top of your component file.

import React from 'react'; 
import "./App.css"

Step 3: Create a Component.

You can use {renderTextWithHashtags(text)} to add hashtag in react js.

<div>
  <p>{renderTextWithHashtags(text)}</p>
</div>

Define the add hashtag example.

The below code is an example of a React. You have to import ./App.css and set word.startsWith('#') to add hashtag in react js.

App.js

import React from 'react'; 
import "./App.css"

function App() {
  const text = "Follow #ReactJS and #JavaScript for more updates!";
  
  const renderTextWithHashtags = (text) => {
    return text.split(/(\s+)/).map((word, index) => {
      if (word.startsWith('#')) {
        return <span key={index} className="hashtag">{word}</span>;
      }
      return word;
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <p>{renderTextWithHashtags(text)}</p>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App; 

App.css

.hashtag {
  color: blue;
  font-weight: bold;
}

In the above code example, I have used the word.startsWith('#') and add hashtag in react js.

Check the output of the above code.

All the best 👍
