Key benefits

  • New content on TypeScript, React frameworks, state management strategies, and unit testing
  • Get to grips with React fundamentals and modern React techniques and architecture
  • Broaden your React expertise through mobile development with React Native

Description

Welcome to your big-picture guide to the React ecosystem. If you’re new to React and looking to become a professional React developer, this book is for you. This updated fifth edition reflects the current state of React, including React framework coverage as well as TypeScript. Part 1 introduces you to React. You’ll discover JSX syntax, hooks, functional components, and event handling, learn techniques to fetch data from a server, and tackle the tricky problem of state management. Once you’re comfortable with writing React in JavaScript, you’ll pick up TypeScript development in later chapters. Part 2 transitions you into React Native for mobile development. React Native goes hand-in-hand with React. With your React knowledge behind you, you’ll appreciate where and how React Native differs as you write shared components for Android and iOS apps. You’ll learn how to build responsive layouts, use animations, and implement geolocation. By the end of this book, you’ll have a big-picture view of React and React Native and be able to build applications with both.

Who is this book for?

This book is for any JavaScript or TypeScript developer who wants to start learning how to use React and React Native for web and mobile app development. No prior knowledge of React or React Native is required. However, a working knowledge of JavaScript is necessary to be able to follow along the content covered.

What you will learn

  • Explore React architecture, component properties, state, and context
  • Work with React Hooks for handling functions and components
  • Fetch data from a server using the Fetch API, GraphQL, and WebSockets
  • Dive into internal and external state management strategies
  • Build robust user interfaces (UIs) for mobile and desktop apps using Material-UI
  • Perform unit testing for your components with Vitest and mocking
  • Manage app performance with server-side rendering, lazy components, and Suspense

A great read for anyone looking to brush their skills in react and react-native. It starts from fundamentals, how to fetch data from various sources, dealing with state management and unit testing using vitest, and then dives into react native for those interested mobile app development. I'm currently using react for a personal project and it's great to have this book for reference.

The authors really impressed me, who is not a Web developer, with how React is introduced and taught.I am now itching to create a toy project and then something useful for work.Firstly, why I thought of React when we have so many Web Frameworks? A spoiler alert: I learned from this book React is not a Web Framework per-se). Anyway, in my view, most of the Web Frameworks are opinionated. I do not think this is a good property. I value flexibility and the ability to do things the way I am comfortable with or however I see them fit. React is exactly that jewel in the crown: a modern User Interface framework (UI) that has no limits. Its one other excellent design decision is in that it has abandoned the imperative programming approach (learnt from the book), which is highly suitable for fluid UIs.The book is actually like a two in-one bundle: the React and React Native. There is some overlap in material coverage, but it is necessary because it stems from how the React / React Native is targeting discrete platforms.I think JSX is the core of React so the authors made a special effort to cover it from the bottom up very nicely. A big plus, because it is like laying a sound foundation to getting developing a solid Web App.Next, the Hooks, this is an exiting, relatively new and interesting concept that is well implemented in React and explained in the book. I fell in love in programming this way, Hooks are an elegant feature!And React has more neat and useful design points as code separation, built-in state management/ memoization - everything is explained in the book really well.So not to delay, embrace React and React Native!

I recently had the chance to go thru the book and it enriched the extend of my understanding of React: and that's something I love because I believe firmly that getting better in the fundamentals allows you to face better the more complex issues.What sets this book apart is its adept approach to introducing new concepts. It meticulously navigates through evolutive changes, elucidating each new theme while candidly presenting the merits and demerits of various decisions. After all, every decision comes with its own set of pros and cons.And for the part of React Native: I've never work on that and the author was able to engage me in a very natural way. It gives you all the basics to start and create a solid native app that is not naive in its design.Great book, and great job by the author.

The authors have done an excellent job structuring this book into two parts, each focusing on crucial aspects of React and React Native.Part I: This section starts with the basics of React, including JSX, and an in-depth look at Hooks. It then moves on to event handling, reusable components, and TypeScript for type checking and validation. You'll also learn about routing, code-splitting for performance, Material UI for UI design, state updates, and data fetching techniques. Advanced topics such as state management with Redux and MobX, and server-side rendering are covered, concluding with thorough testing strategies like unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.Part II: This part dives into React Native for mobile development. It begins with the basics and current architecture of React Native, guiding you through starting a new project. You’ll learn to build responsive layouts with Flexbox, navigate between screens, and handle lists, geolocation, and user input. Advanced topics include user gestures, progress indicators, modals, animations, and lazy image loading. The final chapters cover network state detection and data synchronization.The best thing about this book is its clear and concise writing style, making complex topics easy to understand. The step-by-step instructions and code snippets make learning straightforward. I Highly recommended it! ✔️
