React.js Mastery Roadmap

This detailed roadmap covers everything from React fundamentals to advanced concepts, performance optimization, and security best practices to help you become a React expert.

Phase 1: React Fundamentals

✅ Core JavaScript Concepts (Prerequisite)

  • ES6+ (let/const, template literals, arrow functions)

  • Destructuring & Spread/Rest Operators

  • Callbacks, Promises, async/await

  • Modules (import/export)

✅ React Basics

  • Understanding Components (Functional & Class)

  • JSX & Rendering Elements

  • Props & State (useState, setState)

  • Handling Events (onClick, onChange)

  • Conditional Rendering (&&, Ternary, if-else)

✅ React List & Keys

  • Rendering Lists (.map())

  • Keys & Performance Considerations

📌 Mini Projects:

  • Simple Counter App

  • Basic To-Do List

Phase 2: React Advanced Concepts

✅ Component Lifecycle & Hooks

  • useEffect (Side Effects, Fetching Data)

  • useRef (DOM Manipulation, Keeping Values)

  • useReducer (Alternative to useState)

  • Custom Hooks (useTheme, useFetch)

✅ Context API & State Management

  • useContext (Global State Management)

  • Prop Drilling vs. Context API

  • Redux (useSelector, useDispatch, reducers)

✅ React Forms & Validation

  • Controlled vs. Uncontrolled Components

  • Handling Form Submissions

  • Form Validation with Yup & Formik

📌 Mini Projects:

  • Weather App (API Fetching & useEffect)

  • User Authentication (Login System)

Phase 3: Performance Optimization & Best Practices

✅ React Performance Optimization

  • Code Splitting (React.lazy, Suspense)

  • Memoization (useMemo, useCallback)

  • Virtualization (react-window, react-virtualized)

  • Avoiding Unnecessary Re-Renders

✅ React Security Best Practices

  • Sanitizing Inputs (XSS Prevention)

  • Protecting API Keys & Environment Variables

  • Authentication & Authorization (JWT, OAuth)

📌 Mini Projects:

  • Optimized E-commerce Product Listing

  • Secure Notes App (JWT Authentication + CRUD)

Phase 4: Full-Stack React Development

✅ React with Backend APIs

  • Fetching Data (fetch, axios)

  • CRUD Operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete)

  • Handling API Errors & Loading States

✅ React Router & Navigation

  • react-router-dom (Navigation & Dynamic Routes)

  • Protected Routes & Redirects

  • Nested Routes & Query Parameters

✅ Building Real-World Full-Stack Apps

  • Next.js for Server-Side Rendering (SSR)

  • Connecting React with Node.js & Express

  • Database Integration (MongoDB, PostgreSQL)

📌 Mini Projects:

  • Blog App (Full CRUD + API)

  • Chat Application (Real-Time with WebSockets)
