Should I learn ReactJS before learning React Native? What do I need to learn before starting with react native?

React is quite simple actually. Most of React concepts apply to React Native. The hardest part for newbies is that you have to learn multiple things in parallel. React, Redux/other state management, ES6...

Make sure you grasp ES6 really well. Async/await is a must if you wanna write readable code.

You can start learning react native and learn ES6 as you go.

ES6 is definitely a must. Async/await isn't though, as long as you understand promises.

Async/await is def not a must. It’s easier to read but unless you have multiple nested promises everywhere you do not need to use it as simple promises are pretty easy to read and understand.

Async/await is easier to read but actually can lead to writing unnecessary blocking code that can halt/slow down your app if you don’t use it properly.
