Full Stack Quarkus and React

Overview of this book

React has established itself as one of the most popular and widely adopted frameworks thanks to its simple yet scalable app development abilities. Quarkus comes across as a fantastic alternative for backend development by boosting developer productivity with features such as pre-built integrations, application services, and more that bring a new, revolutionary developer experience to Java. To make the best use of both, this hands-on guide will help you get started with Quarkus and React to create and deploy an end-to-end web application. This book is divided into three parts. In the first part, you’ll begin with an introduction to Quarkus and its features, learning how to bootstrap a Quarkus project from the ground up to create a tested and secure HTTP server for your backend. The second part focuses on the frontend, showing you how to create a React project from scratch to build the application’s user interface and integrate it with the Quarkus backend. The last part guides you through creating cluster configuration manifests and deploying them to Kubernetes as well as other alternatives, such as Fly.io. By the end of this full stack development book, you’ll be confident in your skills to combine the robustness of both frameworks to create and deploy standalone, fully functional web applications.

Implementing the task manager business logic

In Chapter 2, Adding Persistence, we created the persistence layer for the application. We created entities for users, projects, and tasks following the active record pattern. In this chapter, we’re creating the HTTP API that will be consumed by the frontend of our task manager application. However, before implementing the HTTP endpoints, it’s a good practice to encapsulate the business logic of the application within different service classes. We can expose the operations provided by these services later by implementing the non-blocking JAX-RS annotated classes and methods.

We are going to implement three services: UserService, TaskService, and ProjectService. Let us start by analyzing UserService since it contains some methods that will be reused by the rest of the services.

UserService

The user service will be used to encapsulate all the required business logic for managing the application’s users. Later...
