How much JavaScript to create a project...

So, I'm learning JavaScript (currently on loops and switch statements) but if I was to create a website using HTML CSS how much JavaScript do I need to know to create a portfolio ready site? or begin to create one?

All you need are the basics, do not focus on frameworks, focus on what javascript was built for, for the web. You dont need much javascript to get started.

Start to build your projects, clone an existing site, make it static at first,
build the layout, design, etc.

Slowly make it dynamic with javascript, add carousels, show modals etc.

Slowly make it more dynamic, add server side code, add databases using nodejs and mysql

Slowly make it right, convert your code to typescript

Slowly make it more right, use an existing framework, use ORMs for databases

Just start.
