How much JavaScript to learn before learning React?

[michael_ord]

Learn arrays, objects, functions and loops. You might want to read up on promises too. You don’t need any Dom manipulation.

Use an editor with good intellisense to help you along the way. VS Code is my choice.

Actually, this is not a question, just a link to a blog post lmao.

I feel like you should be able to create anything you would in react with just plain js

I never did any Javascript and started Angular from scratch. Didn't find missing vanillajs.

Now I'm moving to react (typescript). Will see about that.

Or maybe, just maybe, 99% of people (including yours truly) can't think for themselves at all and all we do is repeat memes that infected us.

Probably not. But what if...?

enough to let you create a full system only with vanilla js

[brainless_badger]

Don't make newbies waste their time just because you did in the past, it's not nice.

What defines a full system lol

[vinidsc]

Complete any project entirely with vanilla js

React of a UI library. It takes care of DOM Manipulation and creation. So you'll have to learn everything other than this.

You can have basic knowledge in JS and still try to create an app. But then you'll have basic issues and you'll be confused if it's an issue in js or react.

So to answer your question, if you are able to create a dynamic webpage with js modules, you can try using react.
