The thing with JavaScript is that it takes a week to learn the basics but ages to understand it completely. Even though I have worked with JavaScript a lot, I still get stuck and feel uncomfortable sometimes. So this week I decided to dive deep into ...

I totally agree with you Rutik Wankhade. Understanding ES6 before delving into React will make it a lot easier to understand.

To be honest, ES6 can seem pretty weird at first but once you understand it, writing code with JavaScript becomes even more interesting.

Awesome post! I think ES6 is one of the most important JS releases and features are used a ton on a daily basis by many JS developers. Nice Summary!

Thanks. I just covered a few main features. There are a lot more.

Good read. "You don't know JS" is definitely on my read list. What other JS books would you recommend to read?

Rutik Wankhade Read The Pragmatic Programmer too. It's one of the best I have read so far.

Good article, informative. Thanks for sharing!

I want to add something(in case someone reading this comment, haha!)

To do react, we probably don't have to worry about things like Promises much as we will hook into the async-await syntax sugar and move on.

However, it is important to know the story behind it. Simply, why do we await twice to get the final JSON from the fetch call? How does the premise play around there? Using aync with redux kind of concept is another area.

That's where the dearth will be seen if the concepts like, Promise is not learned well.

Thanks for your call out about promises. Btw.. I wrote about it here because I have faced that dearth recently in myself and in the correction path :)

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Knowing the internals of these concepts and how they work is really important.

Nice article Rutik. Without knowing ES6 concepts individuals will scratch their head understanding concepts in react. Also those books are one of the best. There is also this channel called 'Namaste javascript' . Have a look guys

Thanks for suggesting, will checkout the channel.

Thanks Hrithwik Bharadwaj. will check for sure. 👍

Hrithwik Bharadwaj You can check out this also. Here, you will find all the ES6 and above features explained in detail.
