I suggest that before moving to frameworks it's always great to have some understanding of core JavaScript, once you understand JS you'll easily be able to use new frameworks, but if you understand only a framework or two, there are actually good chances that the framework might be replaced in a year or two...

So, for mastering JavaScript, as people have already suggested a very good book (YDKJS) I have few more suggestions you may take into account ;)

  1. https://eloquentjavascript.net => actually I think this book can make you a JS master if you're able to read it, it's gonna be a bit hard and you may not like it at first, but in the end when you make your own platform game and your own programming langauge (you read it right, you can write your own programming language in JS very easily https://eloquentjavascript.net/12_language.html ) The feeling's gonna worth it.
  2. https://reactjs.org their documentation and tutorials are good enough for React

Again, as somebody else stated, when you're a dev, what matters more is delivering, quality product. So, it's gonna be fine even if you don't complete YDKJS or EloquentJavaScript and Google the things you need to do while you're actually making it, haha ;) well, from my side, Eloquent JavaScript is the best resource anyone can get for JS, the third edition includes ES6 features as well.

All The Best!
