Discover the current landscape of full-stack development and how to
leverage modern web technologies for building production-ready React.js
applications to deploy on AWS
Key Features:
-
Understand the architecture of React and single-page applications
-
Build a modern Web API for your SPA using Node.js, Express, and
GraphQL
-
Gain a clear and practical understanding of how to build a complete
full-stack application
Book Description:
React sets the standard for building high-performance client-side web
apps. Node.js is a scalable application server that is used in thousands
of websites, while GraphQL is becoming the standard way for large
websites to provide data and services to their users. Together, these
technologies, when reinforced with the capabilities of TypeScript,
provide a cutting-edge stack for complete web application development.
This book takes a hands-on approach to implementing modern web
technologies and the associated methodologies for building full-stack
apps. You'll begin by gaining a strong understanding of TypeScript and
how to use it to build high-quality web apps. The chapters that follow
delve into client-side development with React using the new Hooks API
and Redux. Next, you'll get to grips with server-side development with
Express, including authentication with Redis-based sessions and
accessing databases with TypeORM. The book will then show you how to use
Apollo GraphQL to build web services for your full-stack app. Later,
you'll learn how to build GraphQL schemas and integrate them with React
using Hooks. Finally, you'll focus on how to deploy your application
onto an NGINX server using the AWS cloud.
By the end of this book, you'll be able to build and deploy complete
high-performance web applications using React, Node, and GraphQL.
