Passing props. I did not know how to write my components so that it can read "foo" from foo. Turns out it was done through the children prop.

Then there were also problems known as prop drilling. I managed to solve it after learning Redux and Recoil.

I didn't really do anything. I just kept on discover/learn how to use different npm packages and libraries. As I read the examples, a lot of doubts were cleared for me. I think examples are very important.

Apart from that, I think warning messages and errors are also important, I knew nothing about ARIA or cleanup functions or issues with target="_blank" before I learned React.

The learning curve for React has a lot of ups and downs. I have found out so far that been patient with myself as I learn is also important.
I totally agree with you, Edwin. Practice, practice, practice is the way to get better and increase your knowledge. Haha, got some errors when I changed my app structure and files. But errors are great to show you where you went wrong.
All the best as you continue on your journey. ✨✔
