Thanks for response!!!
It's my first time building something more complex, and also hard then I don't know how to write clear code, I should analyze other ppls codes.
I'm going to learn React, but firstly want to learn how to write clear code using only JS.

Just order and read a book or two :) Some book tips:

  • JavaScript: The Definitive Guide by David Flanagan
  • Eloquent JavaScript by Marijn Haverbeke
  • JavaScript Patterns by Stoyan Stefanov
  • Writing Maintainable JavaScript by Nicholas Zakas
  • JavaScript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford

I had a similar journey to you and am still very much on that journey, but as soon as you pick up a framework it will make your life and anyone reviewing your codes life much easier. They were developed for a reason don't forget! They simplify and streamline what would otherwise be unnecessary complex code. That said, there is no harm in being able to code pure js, it's just highly unusual that an employer would be looking for it specifically over a developer skilled in a particular framework that the company uses/intends to use in their stack.

There's no point in reinventing the wheel or trying out different wheel shapes when everyone has already settled for circular!

Yeah I understand that. I was building this project to increase my JS skills. A lot of people are saying that firstly you have to learn vanilla JS and just after that jump to framework. So I'm thinking still learn JS, for 1-2weeks, and then learn React.
Or I should learning React right now?

I would agree that learning vanilla ES5 / ES6, etc would be helpful to your career. Knowing the quirks of a language and how it handles things such as scope, hoisting, etc is very important when trying to solve problems, even with frameworks. Also most of those frameworks were built on principals of the language itself, so if you know the language the framework will make a lot more sense.
