Overview of this book

Filled with useful React patterns that you can use in your projects straight away, this book will help you save time and build better web applications with ease. React 17 Design Patterns and Best Practices is a hands-on guide for those who want to take their coding skills to a new level. You’ll spend most of your time working your way through the principles of writing maintainable and clean code, but you’ll also gain a deeper insight into the inner workings of React. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll learn how to build components that are reusable across the application, how to structure applications, and create forms that actually work. Then you’ll build on your knowledge by exploring how to style React components and optimize them to make applications faster and more responsive. Once you’ve mastered the rest, you’ll learn how to write tests effectively and how to contribute to React and its ecosystem.

Summary

In this chapter, you learned about the benefits of testing, and the frameworks you can use to cover your React components with tests.

You learned how to implement and test components and events with React Testing Library, how to use the Jest coverage, and how to use React DevTools and Redux DevTools. It is important to bear in mind common solutions when it comes to testing complex components, such as higher-order components or forms with multiple nested fields.
