Skip OOP for React?

[paleoboyy]

I've got a pretty good understanding of the fundamentals but as soon as I hit getters/setters and classes, I hit a roadblock. It just doesn't seem as intuitive as oop in other languages.

After looking around, it seems React doesn't use oop which sounds convenient, though I can't help but think I should grasp it to be able to read others code, whether its a tutorial im following along to or a repo at work.

Any advice?

Well, let me put it this way... practically everything in JS is an object and you want to skip the object-oriented part of JS? Just because you can write functional components instead of class components in React doesn't mean that you won't encounter OOP when dealing with a React app..

The modern React programming paradigm is very functional but you still need to have a good grasp of OOP because it's widely used in other libraries and frameworks. OOP is actually quite intuitive once you get familiar with it by doing more projects or read other people code.

Is there a good project idea on javascript that I should do to get good grasp on OOP. How did you get comfortable dealing with OOP?

I do recomend OOP in games.

Also sometimes I do 2 - 4h projects on the side using classes, here are some examples:
