A gentle introduction to React, using the JavaScript you already know

React from Zero

One of the most frequent tasks of software development is the integration of third-party libraries, and since the advent of the JavaScript package manager NPM, JavaScript projects have become well known for the accumulation of many small libraries.

In this chapter, we integrate a simple library, called Moment.js, into a React application. I've picked Moment.js because it's the most used Date library and it has a straightforward interface.

# Lesson 15 - Simple Integration
