ReactJS by Example - Building Modern Web Applications with React

By: Vipul A M

Overview of this book

ReactJS is an open-source JavaScript library that brings the power of reactive programming to web applications and sites. It aims to address the challenges encountered in developing single-page applications, and is intended to help developers build large, easily scalable and changing web apps. Starting with a project on Open Library API, you will be introduced to React and JSX before moving on to learning about the life cycle of a React component. In the second project, building a multi-step wizard form, you will learn about composite dynamic components and perform DOM actions. You will also learn about building a fast search engine by exploring server-side rendering in the third project on a search engine application. Next, you will build a simple frontpage for an e-commerce app in the fourth project by using data models and React add-ons. In the final project you will develop a complete social media tracker by using the flux way of defining React apps and know about the best practices and use cases with the help of ES6 and redux. By the end of this book, you will not only have a good understanding of ReactJS but will also have built your very own responsive frontend applications from scratch.

Fun stuff at Adequate LLC!


"Hi Shawn and Mike!" Carla joined Mike and Shawn in their conversation.

The day before, Carla had asked them to build a Pinterest-style application for cats for one of their clients.

"How are things going today?" she enquired.

"All good, Carla. Shawn, do you want to show Carla what we built yesterday?"

"Sure."

"That looks nice! Are we adding button for faving/starring of cats next?"

"Yes, we were just getting ready for that."

"Cool. The client called yesterday. What they want along with displaying the cats is to show a stream of cats being updated on the screen. This is going to happen when someone faves a cat so that we show it to other users."

"Got it. We will start working on it and simulate addition of cats to appear on the screen to start with."

"Awesome, I will leave you both to it."
