Guess the number with React
Last Updated :
13 Jun, 2023
In this article, we will create the guess the number game. In which the computer will select a random number between 1 and 20 and the player will get unlimited chances to guess the number. If the player makes an incorrect guess, the player will be notified whether the guess is is higher or lower than correct number until the correct guess is made.
To achieve this we will create two components App and Result. App components contain all the logic, it is stateful and the Result component only shows the appropriate message on the page according to the user’s guess. There is a default prop we set to the App component ‘secret’ that holds the required secret number and it is generated randomly.
Lets have a look at how the final application will look like

Prerequisite:Â
Steps to create the projects:
Step 1: Initialize the project by using the following command
npx create-react-app guess
Step 2: Navigate to the folder using the command
cd guess
Step 3: Create a folder named components in src folder and add a new file in it named Result.js
After following the above steps the project structure will look like:
Project Structure:
Â
The dependencies in package.json will look like:
package.json
"dependencies": {
"@testing-library/jest-dom": "^5.16.5",
"@testing-library/react": "^13.4.0",
"@testing-library/user-event": "^13.5.0",
"react": "^18.2.0",
"react-dom": "^18.2.0",
"react-scripts": "5.0.1",
"web-vitals": "^2.1.4"
}
Example : Write the following code in different files.
- App.js: This files contains the logic and imports the required component
- App.css: This file contains the styling of the application
- Result.js: This file displays the result based on the input
Javascript
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import Result from './components/Result'
import './App.css'
class App extends Component {
static defaultProps = {
secret: Math.floor(Math.random() * 20) + 1
}
constructor(props) {
super(props)
this.state = { term: '' }
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this)
}
handleChange(event) {
this.setState({
[event.target.name]: event.target.value
})
}
render() {
return (
<div className='container'>
<div className='head'>
<label htmlFor='term'>
Guess Number between 1 to 20
</label>
</div>
<input
id='term'
type='text'
name='term'
value={this.state.term}
onChange={this.handleChange}
/>
<Result term={this.state.term}
secretNum={this.props.secret} />
</div>
)
}
}
export default App

CSS
body {
background-color: rgb(100, 99, 99);
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
padding: 15%;
}
.container {
padding: 10px;
border: 2px solid whitesmoke;
width: 500px;
border-radius: 16px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
}
.head {
font-weight: 600;
font-size: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
input {
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 10px;
}
input:hover {
background-color: rgb(158, 156, 152);
}
input:focus {
border: 0px;
background-color: beige;
}

Javascript
import React from 'react'
const Result = ({ term, secretNum }) => {
let result;
if (term) {
if (secretNum > term) {
result = 'Lower'
}
else if (secretNum < term) {
result = 'Higher'
}
else if (secretNum == term) {
result = 'Yippee, correct!'
}
else {
result = "Enter Valid Input"
}
}
return <h3>You Guessed: {result}</h3>
}
export default Result
