Assemble the complete stack required to build a modern web app using MongoDB, Express, React, and Node. This book also covers many other complementary tools: React Router, GraphQL, React-Bootstrap, Babel, and Webpack. This new edition will use the latest version of React (React 16) and the latest React Router (React Router 4), which has a significantly different approach to routing compared to React Router 2 which was used in the first edition of the book.
Though the primary focus of Pro MERN Stack is to equip you with all that is required to build a full-fledged web application, a large portion of the book will be devoted to React 16. The popular MEAN (MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, Node) stack introduced Single Page Apps (SPAs) and front-end Model-View-Controller (MVC) as new and efficient paradigms.
Facebook`s React is a technology that competes indirectly with AngularJS. It is not a full-fledged MVC framework. It is a jаvascript library for building user interfaces (in some sense the View part). Yet, it is possible to build a web app by replacing AngularJS with React – hence the term MERN stack
What You Will Learn:
Discover the features of React 16 to get the maximum out of this library
Gain the basics of MongoDB, Express, and Node to build a web app
Work with other libraries complementary to React, including React-Bootstrap, React Router, and GraphQL
Use tools such as Babel and Webpack required to build jаvascript-based SPAs
Tie all the components together to build a complete web app.
Who This Book Is For:
Developers and architects who have prior experience in any web app stack other than the MERN stack will find the book useful for learning about this modern stack. Prior knowledge of how web applications work is required. Knowledge of jаvascript is also required. It is further assumed that the reader knows the basics of HTML and CSS. It will greatly help if you are also familiar with the version control tool git; you could try out the code just by cloning the git repository that holds all the source code described in this book and running each step by checking out a branch.
The code in the book uses the latest features of jаvascript (ES2015+), and it is assumed that you well-versed in these features such as classes, fat-arrow functions, const keyword, etc. Whenever I first use any of these modern jаvascript features, I will point it out using a note so that you are aware that it is a new feature. In case you are not familiar with a particular feature, you can read up on it as and when you encounter it.
If you have decided that your new app will use the MERN stack, then this book is a perfect enabler for you that lets you quickly get off the ground. Even if you have not, reading the book will get you excited about MERN and equip you with enough knowledge to make a choice for a future project. The most important thing you will learn is to put together multiple technologies and build a complete, functional web application, and you can be called a full-stack developer or architect on MERN.
