Isomorphic JavaScript Web Development

By: Tomas Alabes, Konstantin Tarkus

Overview of this book

<p>The latest trend in web development, Isomorphic JavaScript, allows developers to overcome some of the shortcomings of single-page applications by running the same code on the server as well as on the client. Leading this trend is React, which, when coupled with Node, allows developers to build JavaScript apps that are much faster and more SEO-friendly than single-page applications.</p> <p>This book begins by showing you how to develop frontend components in React. It will then show you how to bind these components to back-end web services that leverage the power of Node. You'll see how web services can be used with React code to offload and maintain the application logic. By the end of this book, you will be able to save a significant amount of development time by learning to combine React and Node to code fast, scalable apps in pure JavaScript.</p>

Preface

Summary


We have seen how to have isomorphic routing using React Router, reusing the client routes we defined first and providing all the necessary initial data for the client application to start seamlessly. We saw how that initial data was managed without the framework and used one of the most popular state containers, redux.

This approach will unify your routing system and make your application load.

In the following chapter, we will see how to integrate authentication to our isomorphic routing, managing JWT tokens, and redirecting users if not allowed to navigate to a protected route and more.

Let's go!
