I recently worked with a group of volunteer developers to start moving our RICOH THETA Developer community web sites into an integrated React web application. The experience was wonderful. We were able to quickly tap into REST API data sources with React and build an interface to our fun dev community that gets roughly 1 million views a year. Most of us were new to React when the project started. Although I had fun, it would have been more fun had I spent an extra 20 minutes brushing up on modern JavaScript before I started reading React code examples.

I’ll explain the 10 JavaScript things we wished we studied just a little bit more before we started coding the site in React by grabbing online code examples.
