How Do I Master React? by DDayve: 1:37am On May 15, 2021
Hello mentors in the house, I am a newbie web developer and I have been struggling with React for some days now. Gurus in the house, please how did you go about it when you learned React. Please help a brother

You need the fundamental knowledge of JS to master react.
You also need practical life scenarios projects to get quality skills. You can find many on GitHub
Lastly nothing good comes easy.

Honestly if you are struggling with react, it means your JavaScript fundamentals are weak. React takes away a ton of abstraction with vanilla js.

Since it's a JS library, you need to master the basics both past and ES6+, then jump into it. With enough practice you shall get there!

Thanks boss. The syntax I am not understanding is the fetch() syntax. I studied basic JavaScript with W3schools. Is there any material you can recommend for me on that aspect of fetch() and response. They sound strange to me

I don't write react but this is an easy read.

Go back to vanilla Javascript.

W3school is nothing but a reference guide.
JavaScript the Definitive guide is a good book

Go to YouTube, download Traversy Media's JavaScript crash course and Mosh's JavaScript fundamentals for react.

I've been learning also. You need to master ES6, then start learning React.
You can get videos on YouTube. Try traversy media, the netNinja. When you are done learning the basics from these, then you can try Basir all on YouTube. If you find others let me know. I'm learning also.

React is not really difficult, it is just that sometimes i feel it is overly engineered and everywhere all at once...compared to vue...

When i started, i was having a hard time with react, then i left it for vue which is a delight to work with...the next time i looked at react with a strong knowledge of vue, it was a cake walk...i even started building an app with vue native which is a wrapper around react native...i was bascally looking at react code and rewriting it the vue way....Writing react right now for a web implemention and sometimes smile at how i am writing very complex things with it.... If you are overwhelmed, you can start with vue and come back later to it...and you will wonder why exactly you were finding it difficult...

Fetch makes use of promises. You can read up on that.

React is a JavaScript library and op I understand what you are going through cause even if you master ES6 you might still not understand React because the syntax is different most of the time.

Thanks everyone for the contribution. I am getting to the promise land now. Thanks to React documentation https://reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html

React documentation is good but as you go on, the information becomes too much and it becomes more abstract. That's the issue all documentations have.

I would rather advice that you follow a course on YouTube about react. The reason is, these courses will apply react to solve a real life problem. That is the best way to learn.

Documentation should be used mainly as reference.

Thank you boss. I agree with you. Just that I am that kind of learner that likes to understand the basics before application. My actual material is a course I bought from Udemy(The complete web developer by Andrei Neagoie) sometimes it seems I am memorising his teaching rather than understanding. That is the reason I have to sought other materials to understand the basics so I can make wider application of his teachings. Before his JavaScript section, I went to study JavaScript on W3schools so I can understand him better, it worked. Before his React section, I did the same but it didn't work well enough which is the reason I came for help here.
I will follow the guideline u just gave here, I also believe it would work

ES6 is my trouble. I have done JavaScript in Mimo and Sololearn but when I reached the ES6 topics, what suppose to be an improvement in what I have learnt since became a major distraction.

Yea it may be intimidating at first, but with a hand on project you would really feel it importance. Es6 features allow more logics, shorter, less error prone codes etc,
