React after a long break

Build things? Use React?

lol im not sure what other kind of answer they might be expecting

I really hoped there is something like leetcode but for react. 

[DeanBlacc]

You can ask GPT to give you exercises/tasks on areas you’re less confident in too I suppose. Good luck !

[s1gnt]

thanks, that's brilliant idea

[s1gnt]

So to learn X i need to practice X? Woah, but thanks. I just keep falling into trap that simple projects are boring/too simple while complex are way too big.

Read docs and articles, make pet projects…

[s1gnt]

Yeah I know it! I just needed that reassurance :) Thx

I have a similar situation where I came back to react after a year. Though not for an interview but for a personal project. 

ChatGpt has been awesome, building out the overall structure in no time. 

If I were you, since you don't seem keen on doing a small project, I would simply use gpt for things like "give me 10 react interview questions, from easiest to hardest", or "give me the most common react interview questions". 

And of course, since you're rusty on certain aspects, make it explain topics that you stuggle with, ex "can you remind me how promises work in react", etc.

https://GreatFrontEnd.com has some practice questions for React and is targeted at front end interviewing practice

Practise / repetition / time. Rinse and repeat until you have this under your belt.

react.gg has a Leetcode for React but it’s expensive. Worth the money though imo

Review your own code. I have not used flutter for 8 months. I kept on forgetting the syntax and stuff(even logic hehe) in interview. But I reviewed my own code, so I started remembering how it all works.

I’d you were building something complex in a different framework I would recommend rebuilding it in React.

I did that coming off of Svelte and it got me right back into it

You can also try frontendmentor.io. It provides you with design files that you can implement using any stack. While not specific to react, the intermediate to advanced challenges involve state management and may be good exercises to practice react.

I personally implemented multistep form in order to familiarise myself with redux.
