I have 5years of experience with programming desktop applications with C# and WPF. Recently I self-learned React.js(no prior JS experience) + Redux in a month for a company project which has just started now. My task is to design and code the frontend. With having just a month of experience in React and the project having a huge codebase, I can clearly feel that I am not the right fit for the project and very worried about not being able to deliver tasks.
A little background about the project: I voluntarily agreed to be a part of the project in the initial phases. Since I have been performing decently in other projects, the manager decided to take me into the project, also giving me a month time to train with react. I wasn't expecting the project to be THIS big else I would have never volunteered for it
The company that handed over the project to us didn't give any code overview, just gave the documentation with high-level details.
The project development hasn't yet started, though I have been trying to get my head over the code(even in most of my off-hours)... but it is proving to be difficult to understand the ways how react and javascript work.
I need a piece of sincere advice on how to proceed with the project. I don't want to mess up the project and the company's reputation. Is it okay to tell the manager this early that I just can't handle it even though the delivery deadlines are quite strict? I don't want to be that giving up early person. Should I ask the manager to place an experienced frontend engineer alongside me AND assign me a junior role, cause well that's how I learned when I started my career.
Thank you for reading.
