Javascript fundamentals before learning react

#requirement #react #javascript #beginners

Before Going to Learn React You must need Some JavaScript concepts.

let,var and const
function and arrow function callback
hight order function
class
destructuring array and object
import and export
HTML and CSS Basic

Don't worry I will explain you in details.

let,var and const

let,var,const are just a variable declaring. let and const are come in ES6.
Before we use var for variable declaring. There are some advantages of using var and let.
var is used for functional scope and let is used for block scope.
Block scoped is only work in inside this { } and you can't call this variable outside of the scope. Var is used in function scope means like a global variable. You can call it from anywhere.CONST is the same use let but const is used only in const value , Array and Object.

function and arrow function

function is used to avoid DRY(Don't Repeat Yourself). You can declare a function like this.

function add(a,b)
{ 
           return a + b
}

What is arrow function? Arrow function is a new way to declaring function that comes in ES6. You can easily convert the above function into an arrow function like this.

   const add = (a,b) => { a + b} ;

It is short right ??

Callback

callback ?? confusing 😅 Don't worry I will explain easy way .
A callback function is a function passed into another function as an argument, which is then invoked inside the outer function to complete some kind of routine or action. see in demo

  setTimeout( function name(){
             console.log("This is zaw");
             },1000)

High Order Function

Higher-order functions are functions that take other functions as arguments or return functions as their results. Some high-order functions are map, filter, reduce, etc,.. .I am not going this in detail there are many articles on this you can easily search and read it.

Destructuring array and object

Destructuring is spliting value into pieces.

  var array = [ one = 1,two = 2,three = 3,four = 4]; 
  var [one,two,three,four] = array; 
  console.log(one);//you will get 1
  console.log(two);//2

To destruturing object

const Obj = { name:"Zaw",age:21,gender:"male"};
const {name,age,gender} = Obj;
console.log(name); //Zaw
console.log(age);

import and export .

import is used to call packages that already on .

 import React from {React} .

Export is used to export your own package that you have been written and you can call by using import when You need it.

  export package;

Overall not bad of an overview and may be useful for someone looking for where to start.

What you should definitely improve about this article is some styling and proofreading. You left in multiple typos, 2 of the sections from overview aren't even in the article and the code snippets have barely any formating and are hard to read.

Thank for your feedback I will try to improve this. I just starting writing this so I don't have any idea .I will improve this point

you said

const add = () => { a + b} ;

there is not even a or b in the param. Also, you open the {, and so you need a return. Otherwise it is going to evaluate a + b and return nothing.

Or just use
