I was in the same position as you a couple of weeks ago. My story was that I had 1 year experience with meteor.js which no one seems to care about and everyone wants react/angular/vue (front-end jobs). So I started learning React (also through personal projects) and focused on learning JS fundamentals the most. Then I got an interview from my current company and eventhough I was not able to say too many specific details about React or Angular, the JS knowledge I showed proved enough for them to put their trust in me and hire me. Now I am studying Angular (never done it before) as part of my preparation for different projects and am looking forward to getting to know React a bit more as well.
Some advice I could give you would be to focus on studying basics and to be up-to-date with technologies (like ES6, node.js, react/angular/vue) - and don't worry about becoming master at them before landing the job - they will know you are just starting.
If you are passionate about what you want to do in this field and you can show it to the interviewer and you can back it up with some basic knowledge, I am sure that there will be a company that will give you a chance :)
Keep applying! (took me 3 months to get my job)

What are some good questions to ask your interviewer?
