I've got a solid background in Angular, and I'm excited to jump into the React world. My learning style is pretty hands-on, so I've done one basic tutorial to grasp the fundamentals. Now, I want to create something based on a simple idea I have, but I'm feeling a bit lost when it comes to how to organize my code since Angular has a more defined structure. I'd love some advice on a few things: 1. How do you typically organize your React code? 2. What essential libraries would you recommend for HTTP requests and other core functionalities? 3. Are there any key concepts I should understand before diving in?

To start off, React is a lot more flexible than Angular when it comes to structure. I’d recommend looking into a few popular libraries: React Router for routing, TanStack Query for async data fetching, and Zustand for state management. These tools are commonly used and pretty easy to pick up. As for code organization, it’s less standardized in React, so if you have a system that works for you in Angular, don’t hesitate to adapt it!
Thanks for this! I'll definitely check out those libraries. I was worried about sticking too closely to my Angular style.
