Top 5 Skills to Know before Learning ReactJS [with Reference Links]

Hello Friends,

Today we will know about the top 5 skills you must know before learning React.js.

ReactJS is a JavaScript library used to create elements for websites. ReactJS helps front-end developers to build user interfaces and UI for websites and web applications.

For frontend developers, ReactJS is the most popular library and its popularity is increasing constantly. The websites running on ReactJS look beautiful so developers are attracted to this library. But instead of directly jumping into ReactJS you must know its prerequisites.

So here we will discuss some basic concepts you must know before you jump into learning ReactJS.

Top 5 Skills to Know before Learning ReactJS

HTML

You should have a basic knowledge of HTML. Knowing how to write HTML tags will make it easier to grab the concepts of JSX in ReactJS. You must know how to work with and write semantic  HTML tags and how to build a frontend application using HTML.

NPM (Node Package Manager) is an installer that can help you download and keep track of the packages. When you work with ReactJS you install many smaller software packages that contain files that we needed in our project as well as a module.

Steps to install node module:

npm install <package name>

npm install from the root directory
