Overview of this book

The reader will learn how to use React and its component-based architecture in order to develop modern user interfaces. A new holistic way of thinking about UI development will establish throughout this book and the reader will discover the power of React components with many examples. After reading the book and following the example application, the reader has built a small to a mid-size application with React using a component based UI architecture. The book will take the reader through a journey to discover the benefits of component-based user interfaces over the classical MVC architecture. Throughout the book, the reader will develop a wide range of components and then bring them together to build a component-based UI. By the end of this book, readers would have learned several techniques to build powerful components and how the component-based development is beneficial over regular web development.

Summary


In this chapter, you learned about the benefits of writing tests and running them often. We created a few tests for our classes and components and made assertions about their behavior.

We've now covered all the topics I want to share with you. Hopefully, they've given you all the tools to start creating interfaces with confidence. We've learned so much together; covering topics such as single component designs and states, how components talk to each other (through things such as context), how to structure and decorate the whole system, and even how to test it.

The React community is just beginning, and you can join it and influence it. All it will take is for you to spend a bit of time building things with React and talking to others about your experiences doing so.
