책소개

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

▶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.

▶What You Will Learn
-Discover TypeScript's most important features and how they can be used to improve code quality and maintainability
-Understand what React Hooks are and how to build React apps using them
-Implement state management for your React app using Redux
-Set up an Express project with TypeScript and GraphQL from scratch
-Build a fully functional online forum app using React and GraphQL

▶What this book covers
- Chapter 1, Understanding TypeScript, explains what TypeScript is and what makes it ideal for use in large application development.

- Chapter 2, Exploring TypeScript, dives deep into TypeScript. We'll explore its features, including static typing, and why these features are an improvement over JavaScript. We'll also look at application design with object-oriented programming and how TypeScript features enable this important programming paradigm.

- Chapter 3, Building Better Apps with ES6+ Features, reviews the important features of JavaScript that every developer needs to know. We'll focus on the latest features added in ES6 and beyond.

- Chapter 4, Learning Single-Page Application Concepts and How React Enables Them, explains how websites are built and focuses on single-page application-style apps. We'll then introduce React and how React is used to create a single-page application.

- Chapter 5, React Development with Hooks, dives deep into React. We'll learn about the limitations of the older class style of writing React applications, as well as learn about Hooks and functional components and how they are an improvement on the older class style.

- Chapter 6, Setting Up Our Project Using create-react-app and Testing with Jest, describes the modern methods used for developing React applications. This includes the standard for creating React projects, create-react-app, and client-side testing with Jest and testing-library.

- Chapter 7, Learning Redux and React Router, covers Redux and React Router to help us build our React application. These two frameworks have been the go-to frameworks for managing state and routing almost since React's inception.

- Chapter 8, Learning Server-Side Development with Node.js and Express, covers Node and Express. Node is the underlying runtime that makes JavaScript server apps possible. Express is the framework around Node that makes it easy to build powerful server-side apps using Node.

- Chapter 9, Wha

출판사 서평

▶ Preface
According to GitHub, the largest repository for open source software, JavaScript is still the most popular programming language in the world. More projects are written in JavaScript than any other language. Even projects normally not associated with the web, such as machine learning and crypto currencies, often use JavaScript.

The JavaScript programming language is enormously powerful and capable, but in addition to the language, there are frameworks, including React and Node, that add to the language's capabilities, making it even better. On top of this, TypeScript has now become the standard for doing large JavaScript projects. It provides language features that make coding with JavaScript more productive and better suited for large applications.

Modern web development has advanced tremendously over the years. In the past, client code generally meant static HTML and CSS, with perhaps a tiny bit of JavaScript. And the backend was usually written in a completely different language, such as PHP or CGI scripts. However, it is now common to write the entire application, from client to server, using only JavaScript and its related frameworks. This ability to write our applications using only a single language provides enormous benefits during development. Furthermore, the robust and mature frameworks that are available make full stack programming in JavaScript competitive with any other platform.

In this book, we will learn to use the power of JavaScript to build complete full stack web applications. We will augment this power with TypeScript, another powerful top-ten language. Then, using frameworks such as React, Redux, Node, Express, and GraphQL, we will build a realistic, fully functional best-practices web application that will give you all the knowledge you need in order to build modern full stack web applications. And once our application is complete, we'll deploy it to AWS cloud services, the world's most popular and feature-rich cloud services provider.
