What do i need to know how to do in JavaScript ?

hi iam a beginner in frontend learned html and css last year got a good grasp of the basics which implemented it in one or two projects so jumped to JS and oh boy !! the feeling of knowing nothing after weeks of js learning is frustrating. Learned the fundamentals practiced here and there like WesBos 30 js challenge (which is free by the way) one of his challenges was to change css variables via js ,i like it so much it showed me the practical use of js in a website unlike other projects that you cant implement in future my 2 question are : 1-what are some things must know how to code that i will use in future in client website allegedly ? 2- should i start working on portfolio then start looking for work in freelancing websites, before learning react ?

I'm not good at answering questions but imo I would prefer learn reactjs and make portfolio using reactjs cuz I actually created my portfolio using reactjs or it's u r choice And for your 1st question maybe try learn backend And topics would be like async / await , Promises

being comfortable handling forms, arrays, the DOM. Basically, be able to build a full interactive site using just JS

you don't need to know everything, as javascript does way too much there's bluetooth, serial, audio, webrtc, accelerometer, geolocation, 2d graphics, 3d graphics ... learning the basics, as jochem said, is the most important i would also add objects, json, promises and event handling
