Git and CLI (Command Line Interface)
Git (version control) is another must-have skill a developer should have to store their project on GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab (Code hosting platform). It helps developers to work and collaborate with each other and it allows them to track and host different versions of project files. You should have good knowledge of how Git and these code hosting platforms work. Developers use the command of Git to track the version of your files, so learn how to use all the commands such as push, pull, add, commit, etc. Also learn about merging, branching, handling merging conflicts, etc.
Everything in React you will be doing with the help of CLI (Command-line interface). Installing packages, using NPM, creating a react app, running react application, and a lot of things so you really need to make a habit of using CLI. Below is an example of running a React application using CLI.
Top 5 Skills You Must Know Before You Learn ReactJS
Do you know enough javascript before jumping into React??
Do you know how to use the map() method to loop through an array in javascript or ReactJS??
If you are learning React and you get stuck on these kinds of above questions then definitely you are making mistakes in your learning process. There is no doubt that ReactJS is the most popular library among frontend developers and its popularity is continuously increasing day by day. The website running on ReactJS looks beautiful and most of the beginners in development get attracted to ReactJs (developed by Facebook) as well but a common mistake that a lot of developers and experienced people make is jumping directly into ReactJS (or some other library and framework) without knowing the prerequisites. If you will directly go to React you will face a lot of problems while learning this library and in interviews as well.
You will get stuck during your interview if you are asked some questions related to ES6, JSX, Babel, Package Manager, basic JavaScript, or some other fundamental concepts. We are going to discuss some prerequisites and some basic concepts that you should know before you jump to React. These basic concepts will also help you to pick up some other frameworks and libraries of JavaScript in the future.
