What is ReactJS?

📌ReactJS is an open-source, component based front end library responsible only for the view layer of the application. It is maintained by Facebook.
ReactJS uses virtual DOM based mechanism to fill in data (views) in HTML DOM.
📌The virtual DOM works fast owning to the fact that it only changes individual DOM elements instead of reloading complete DOM every time.

Create React App

1.ES6 and JSX transpilation
2.Dev server with hot module reloading
3.Code linting
4.CSS auto-prefixing
5.Build script with JS, CSS and image bundling, and sourcemaps
6.Jest testing framework

Hum, or better yet, buff up the debugging skills: developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools... and learn how to watch a value and use breakpoints.

Also you can recommend the following extension.

marketplace.visualstudio.com/items...

as there are plenty of snippets that will help them code faster and have a better understanding of the code snippets.
