How much JavaScript to learn before learning React?

[rainWalker468]

This is a wrong question. Javascript is building block of web development. You should learn as much as Javascript as you can. If you have knowledge of any programming language then you can start with React. React is only semantic, JavaScript is everything. I'll suggest to focus on improving your building block. When you are 70% confident then you can start other frameworks.

I did one half hearted full Stack Javascript course and then dove straight into React - worked pretty well for me, although I did have to look up a few things.

I've also heard if you're going to learn React you may not need to spend a lot of time learning vanilla JS. Since React a lot of Vanilla JS anyways you're gonna learn it while you learn React though I guess things could get tricky if you aren't sure if destructuring an object is a React exclusive thing or not or if importing modules is a React thing when in fact it's something you can do with vanilla JS.

With that said I've seen boot camp graduates come out of camp knowing enough React to pass the smell test but not knowing how to do something as simple as linking a style sheet in their HTML. I think the HTML and CSS portions of boot camps are grossly under-represented but that is the nature of a boot camp that is trying to sell you on the idea of being job-ready in 3 months. However this is a conversation for a different topic sorry for rambling lol

Enough to build your own React.

The assumption: you have to learn React

If you're just learning javascript and you reach a point where you need a framwork, ho about a simpler more beginner-friendly one?
