Thank you, I get stuck with vanilla JS because it’s always taught by “concepts” that are ended by a “console.log” and arnt truly used. JS has been tough for me

That means you shouldn't be using libraries in the first place. Indeed that for the most part if you watch a tutorial, JS is explained by concepts, but those concepts are the ones you need to grasp before actually using a library or framework.

If you are struggling with JS I'd highly recommend sticking to the basics. Learn concepts about programming and the language before jumping into projects. (And go through books like this instead of just sticking to crash courses on YouTube.

PS: What are you trying to build?
