Hi every one I'm completely new to emacs, spacemacs, even vim and linux I'm trying to do my daily work in spacemacs, that's JavaScript and react I have a few questions: 1. Why all documentations is based on users that have all these knowledge? 2. For example for configuring js-mode there's a package import-js that can be used. Should I install the npm package or install the package from spacemacs? What else should be done?

Each programming language has a layer with documentation for any configuration, although usually very little or no additional config is required. https://develop.spacemacs.org/layers/LAYERS.html It is highly recommended that you use the Spacemacs develop branch. Try the Gitter chat for a wider range of people to help. This channel is predominantly focused on using Clojure with Spacemacs. https://gitter.im/syl20bnr/spacemacs

The most up to date info for any layer is always in the Spacemacs GitHub repository https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs It seems a lot of languages are moving to a Language Server Protocol tooling, so that maybe something new you need to learn, but it should be covered in the Readme file of each layer.

I also have an online book that may help you learn Spacemacs. It's partly about Clojure, but there are a lot of general topics covered, especially learning vim https://practicalli.github.io/spacemacs/
