---

## ๐ŸŸข 1. **Prerequisites (Before React)**

Make sure you're confident in:

### โœ… HTML & CSS

- Semantic HTML
- Flexbox & Grid
- Forms
- Media Queries

### โœ… JavaScript (ES6+)

- `let`, `const`, arrow functions
- `map`, `filter`, `reduce`
- Spread/rest operators
- Destructuring
- Callbacks, Promises, async/await
- `this`, closures, scope, hoisting
- DOM manipulation

### โœ… Git & GitHub

- Clone, commit, push, pull
- Creating branches
- README writing

---

## ๐ŸŸก 2. **React Core Concepts**

> ๐ŸŽฏ Goal: Understand the core building blocks of React.

### ๐Ÿ“ฆ Environment Setup

- Install Node.js & npm
- Create a project using:

```bash
npx create-react-app my-app
```

or use **Vite** for a faster setup:

```bash
npm create vite@latest
```

### ๐Ÿ“˜ JSX (JavaScript XML)

- Embedding expressions
- Differences from HTML (e.g., `className` vs `className`)

### ๐Ÿ”ฅ Components

- Functional components
- Props
- Reusability

### ๐Ÿ”„ State Management (Local)

- `useState` hook
- Updating and rendering state

### ๐Ÿ“ข Event Handling

- Handling user input
- Passing functions as props

### ๐ŸŒ Conditional Rendering

- `if/else`, ternary operator
- `&&` short-circuit

### ๐Ÿ” Lists and Keys

- Rendering lists with `.map()`
- Importance of unique `key`

### ๐ŸŽจ Styling in React

- CSS Modules
- Inline Styles
- Styled Components (optional)
- TailwindCSS (optional)

---

## ๐Ÿ”ต 3. **React Intermediate Concepts**

> ๐ŸŽฏ Goal: Build apps that can manage UI logic better.

### ๐Ÿช React Hooks (Core)

- `useEffect` for side effects (API calls, event listeners)
- `useRef` for accessing DOM or persisting values
- `useContext` for prop drilling avoidance

### ๐Ÿ“ก Fetching Data

- Using `fetch` or `axios`
- Loading and error states

### ๐Ÿงฉ Forms and Controlled Components

- `onChange`, `value` in inputs
- Controlled vs Uncontrolled forms
- Form validation (optional: libraries like Formik/Yup)

### ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ Component Reusability and Composition

- Children props
- Higher Order Components (HOC)
- Custom Hooks

---

## ๐ŸŸ  4. **React Routing & Navigation**

> ๐ŸŽฏ Goal: Build multipage apps.

### ๐Ÿงญ React Router DOM

- Installation:

```bash
npm install react-router-dom
```

- Basic Routing: ``, ``, ``
- Route Parameters
- Navigation: `useNavigate()`
- Nested Routes
- 404 Pages

---

## ๐Ÿ”ด 5. **React Advanced Concepts**

> ๐ŸŽฏ Goal: Create scalable and performant React apps.

### ๐Ÿ“ฆ Global State Management

- Context API
- Redux Toolkit or Zustand (recommended)
- When to use global state?

### ๐Ÿ’ก Code Splitting & Lazy Loading

- `React.lazy`, `Suspense`

### ๐Ÿš€ Performance Optimization

- `React.memo`, `useMemo`, `useCallback`
- Virtualization (React Window)

### ๐Ÿงช Testing (Optional but Useful)

- Unit Testing with Jest
- Component Testing with React Testing Library

---

## ๐ŸŸฃ 6. **Project Ideas for Practice**

| Level | Project Idea | Concepts Covered |
| ----- | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| ๐Ÿ”ฐ | Counter App | useState, Events |
| ๐ŸŸก | Todo List | Lists, Forms, State |
| ๐ŸŸ  | Weather App (API) | useEffect, Fetch API |
| ๐Ÿ”ต | Quiz App | Conditional Rendering, State, Events |
| ๐Ÿ”ด | Blog App with Routing | Router, Forms, Context API |
| ๐ŸŸฃ | Expense Tracker with Charts | Local Storage, useEffect, Third-party libs |

---

## ๐ŸŸค 7. **Bonus Tools & Tips**

### ๐Ÿ’ผ Developer Tools

- React Developer Tools (Chrome Extension)
- VSCode Extensions: ESLint, Prettier, React Snippets
