Do’s and don’ts

See the coding guidelines and FAQ

Limit your use of javascript or jQuery - jQuery is required for AJAX, but very little else.
Use AJAX to get/send data to the controller
Please use plain javascript not typescript

Note : Make sure that you have Visual Studio 2017 installed in your computer. Visual Studio 2015 does not work with ReactJS
