React Puzzle is a sandbox environment where users can visually manipulate component states through drag-and-drop actions. The tool dynamically shows component lifecycle phases (mounting, updates, unmount) using animated transitions.

Under the Hood
Architecture
• React 18 with concurrent mode support
• TypeScript with strict null checks
• Custom React hooks for state management
• Drag-and-drop API via react-dnd
Interactive Elements
• Dynamic component lifecycle visualization
• Real-time state inspector display
• Drag-and-drop component builder
• Live code preview with syntax highlighting
Why This Matters
Understanding React Concepts
React Puzzle helps developers see the visual consequences of their code by:
Visualizing component mounting/unmounting
See state and prop changes in real-time
Animated transitions between lifecycle phases
Learning Through Exploration
The puzzle concept encourages experimentation by allowing users to:
Try different component configurations
Test edge cases and error scenarios
Compare visual outputs side-by-side
