ReferenceError: React is not defined
Error message
ReferenceError: React is not defined
What broke
The error occurs when you try to use React components or functions without importing the React library. This can happen if you forget to import React at the top of your file.
Why it broke
It broke because JavaScript cannot find the React variable in the current scope. This usually happens when the necessary import statement is missing, leading to a ReferenceError.
How to fix
To fix this error, ensure that you import React at the beginning of your file. Add the line 'import React from 'react';' to make the React library available in your code.
