title: How to convert the jQuery plugin to work in reactjs?
body: <p>Hello first of all i am sorry if the way i am asking my question is stupid i am learning JS and react at the same time.</p>
  
  <p>My question is is it possible to use a jquery plugin to work in react i was looking alot of documentation online but couldnt make it work.</p>
  
  <p>This is the script using type.js in my custom.js file</p>
  
  <pre><code>jQuery(document).ready(function(){
  
      animate_text();
  
  });
  
  function animate_text(){
  
      var animateSpan = jQuery('.animation_text_word');
  
          animateSpan.typed({
              strings: ["Freelancer", "UI/UX Designer", "Web Developer"],
              loop: true,
              startDelay: 1e3,
              backDelay: 2e3
          });
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And this is in my App.js file </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div className="text_typing"&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;I'm a &lt;span className="animation_text_word"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
