Front End Development libraries - need clarification about requirements

JavaScript
#1

Right now I am building Random Quote Machine.

I just made the basic layout and I am going to start work on interactive part.

In the requirements we have this:

you should use something like React

My 1st question is: should i necessarily use React or jQuery here - JS frameworks I mean?
For random quote machine I kinda wanna use just vanilla JS, and Bootstrap.
But if I must use React or jQuery - ok, I will do just that, just let me know.

I am planning to use React for all other cert projects in this course.

2nd question: I figured out from other posts, that there is some issues with tests and 18 version of React.
So: what’s the latest version of React I should use for the cert projects? 17 I guess?

3rd question: I am going to push all these solutions to github. Somewhere on the forum I saw that it is better to add link to freecodecamp in this case. I am planning to do this like here: readme in my repo. Is that good enough?

#2

Either works for this assignment. Personally, I think that React is a more marketable skill than jQuery.

So: what’s the latest version of React I should use for the cert projects? 17 I guess?

Sure, sounds good.

I am planning to do this like here: readme in my repo. Is that good enough?

Sure, makes sense. Some people put an link in the actual project. Whatever works.
