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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to implement tests in Quarkus using its test framework and REST Assured. We also provided complete test coverage for the task manager backend. We started by adding the missing dependency and configuring the project. Then, we added test suite classes for the auth, user, project, and task resources. We also learned how to run these tests using IntelliJ’s built-in features, and through Maven in the command line.

You should now be able to implement tests for your Quarkus applications using the Quarkus test framework and REST Assured. In the next chapter, we’ll learn how to compile the application to a native executable using GraalVM.
