Overview of this book

Getting started with full stack development can be daunting. Even developers who are familiar with the best tools, such as Spring Boot and React, can struggle to nail the basics, let alone master the more advanced elements. If you’re one of these developers, this comprehensive guide covers everything you need! This updated edition of the Full Stack Development with Spring Boot 2 and React book will take you from novice to proficient in this expansive domain. Taking a practical approach, this book will first walk you through the latest Spring Boot features for creating a robust backend, covering everything from setting up the environment and dependency injection to security and testing. Once this has been covered, you’ll advance to React frontend programming. If you’ve ever wondered about custom Hooks, third-party components, and MUI, this book will demystify all that and much more. You’ll explore everything that goes into developing, testing, securing, and deploying your applications using all the latest tools from Spring Boot, React, and other cutting-edge technologies. By the end of this book, you'll not only have learned the theory of building modern full stack applications but also have developed valuable skills that add value in any setting.

Using Docker containers

Docker is a container platform that makes software development, deployment, and shipping easier. Containers are lightweight and executable software packages that include everything that is needed to run software. In this section, we are creating a container from our Spring Boot backend, as follows:

  1. Install Docker on your workstation. You can find the installation packages at https://www.docker.com/get-docker. There are installation packages for multiple platforms, and if you have a Windows operating system, you can go through the installation wizard using the default settings. After the installation, you can check the current version by typing the following command in the terminal:
    heroku --version
  2. First, we have to create an executable JAR file from our Spring Boot application, just as we did at the beginning of this chapter. Right-click your project in the project explorer and select Run as | Maven build... from the menu. Select your project in...
