'!' in jsx code example

Example 1: conditional rendering react

import React, { Component } from 'react';

// @params [] * denotes optional param (we will need to use conditional rendering for some of these)
// [type](Bulma CSS class): Hero type, focuses on the base styling
// size(Bulma CSS Class): The size of the hero, small, medium, large, etc...
// heading: The main heading
// [subheading]: The subheading if desired
// [alignment](Bulma CSS Class): Aligns the content horizontally

// This Simple HeroComponent is bases upon the following
// https://bulma.io/documentation/layout/hero/ 

export class HeroComponent extends Component
{
	render() {
		return (
          	// The following ternary simply applies a class if it has been specified
			<section className={"hero" + (this.props.type ? " " + this.props.type + " " : " ") + this.props.size}>
				<div className="hero-body">
                  	// Again, another ternary applying a class... blah blah blah....
					<div className={"container" + this.props.alignment ? " " + this.props.alignment : ""}>
						<h1 className="title">{this.props.heading}</h1>
						// So, to answer the question...
						// The following is one way to do conditional rendering, probably the simplest and cleanest
						// If this.props.subheading exists, render <h2 .. />
						{this.props.subheading && <h2 className="subtitle">{this.props.subheading}</h2>}
					</div>
				</div>
			</section>
		)
	}
}

Example 2: javascript in jsx

const name = 'Josh Perez';
const element = <h1>Hello, {name}</h1>;
//notice the use of {...} to jump from jsx to javascript.
ReactDOM.render(
  element,
  document.getElementById('root')
);
