Modern JavaScript Web Development Cookbook

By: Federico Kereki

Overview of this book

JavaScript has evolved into a language that you can use on any platform. Modern JavaScript Web Development Cookbook is a perfect blend of solutions for traditional JavaScript development and modern areas that developers have lately been exploring with JavaScript. This comprehensive guide teaches you how to work with JavaScript on servers, browsers, mobile phones and desktops. You will start by exploring the new features of ES8. You will then move on to learning the use of ES8 on servers (with Node.js), with the objective of producing services and microservices and dealing with authentication and CORS. Once you get accustomed to ES8, you will learn to apply it to browsers using frameworks, such as React and Redux, which interact through Ajax with services. You will then understand the use of a modern framework to develop the UI. In addition to this, development for mobile devices with React Native will walk you through the benefits of creating native apps, both for Android and iOS. Finally, you’ll be able to apply your new-found knowledge of server-side and client-side tools to develop applications with Electron.

Connecting routing for debugging

What did we miss? The simple applications we tried out in previous sections of this chapter didn't include routing—but what would have happened if they did? The problem now is visible: whenever the user navigates to a new route, nothing in the state would keep track of that change, so the time machine functions wouldn't really work. To solve this, we need to keep the router information in sync with the store, and that will restore full functionality to our debugging; let's see here how to do that.

Getting ready

With previous versions of react-router, a react-router-redux package took care of linking the router and the state, but that package was recently deprecated and...
