Do I need to know Object oriented programming to learn React JS?

I know basic functional Javascript and Node. I can straightaway see ES6 elements and classes used in React, do I need to know OOP for this?

Honestly if you're going to be working in any framework that uses JavaScript or in JS directly, the more you know about OOP, the better. Make sure you know the ins and outs of JS, particularly array/object methods if you're going to be using React, then strengthen your knowledge of OOP and functional programming. It helps a lot.

the course react basics, says, for better results, do OOP javascript, so obviously, it would be better.
