Overview of this book

Developed by Facebook, React is a popular library for building impressive user interfaces. React extends its capabilities to the mobile platform using the React Native framework and integrates with popular web and mobile tools to build scalable applications. React Projects is your guide to learning React development by using modern development patterns and integrating React with powerful web tools such as GraphQL, Expo, and React 360. You'll start building a real-world project right from the first chapter and get hands on with developing scalable applications as you advance to building more complex projects. Throughout the book, you'll use the latest versions of React and React Native to explore features such as Higher Order Components (HOC), Context, and Hooks on multiple platforms, which will help you build full stack web and mobile applications efficiently. Finally, you'll delve into unit testing with Jest to build test-driven apps. By the end of this React book, you'll have developed the skills necessary to start building scalable React apps across web and mobile platforms.

Build a SSR-Based Community Feed Using React Router

So far, you've learned how React applications are typically Single-Page Applications (SPAs) that can be used as a Progressive Web App (PWA). This means the application is rendered client-side, making it load in the browser when the user visits your application. But did you know React also supports Server-Side Rendering (SSR), as you might remember from back in the old days when code only rendered from a server?

In this chapter, you'll add declarative routing to a Create React App using react-router and have components dynamically loaded from the server instead of the browser. To enable SSR, the React feature, Suspense, will be used with ReactDOMServer. If you're interested in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), this chapter will use React Helmet to add metadata to the page so your application can be better indexed...
