Overview of this book

ReactJS, popularly known as the V (view) of the MVC architecture, was developed by the Facebook and Instagram developers. It follows a unidirectional data flow, virtual DOM, and DOM difference that are generously leveraged in order to increase the performance of the UI. Getting Started with React will help you implement the Reactive paradigm to build stateless and asynchronous apps with React. We will begin with an overview of ReactJS and its evolution over the years, followed by building a simple React component. We will then build the same react component with JSX syntax to demystify its usage. You will see how to configure the Facebook Graph API, get your likes list, and render it using React. Following this, we will break the UI into components and you’ll learn how to establish communication between them and respond to users input/events in order to have the UI reflect their state. You’ll also get to grips with the ES6 syntaxes. Moving ahead, we will delve into the FLUX and its architecture, which is used to build client-side web applications and complements React’s composable view components by utilizing a unidirectional data flow. Towards the end, you’ll find out how to make your components reusable, and test and deploy them into a production environment. Finally, we’ll briefly touch on other topics such as React on the server side, Redux and some advanced concepts.

Preface

Learning ReactJS is a light but powerful way to build fantastic UI components! This book will help you develop robust, reusable, and fast user interfaces with ReactJS. This book will ensure a smooth and seamless transition to the ReactJS ecosystem. The books is full of hands on real applications. From setup to implementation, testing, and deployment: discover the new frontier of front-end web development. ReactJS, popularly known as V of MVC architecture, is developed by the Facebook and Instagram developers. We will take a deep dive on the ReactJS world and explore the unidirectional data flow, virtual DOM, DOM difference, which ReactJS leverages in order to increase the performance of the UI. You will learn the key concepts of ReactJS in a step-by-step process. You will also learn ES6 syntaxes used in ReactJS for the future browsers, with the transpiling techniques to be used in order to support it in current browsers.

You will not only learn to apply and implement ReactJS concepts but also know how you can test JS-based applications and deploy them. In addition to this, you will also be developing a full-fledged application using Flux architecture. You will also learn about Redux, which lets you understand how you can manipulate the data in ReactJS applications easily, by introducing some limitations on the updates. With ample codes covering the concepts and their theoretical explanations coupled with screenshots of the application, you will gain a deep understanding of ReactJS.
