Full-Stack React, TypeScript, and Node - Second Edition
By :
In this chapter, we traced the evolution of web development from static HTML pages and server-rendered applications to modern Single Page Applications. We saw why the page-based model of the classic web felt sluggish compared to native apps, and how SPAs address this by rendering and routing on the client side, using a single HTML file as the entry point. We then introduced React, one of the most widely used libraries for building SPAs, and examined its core ideas: components, declarative rendering, the virtual DOM and reconciliation process, and how state and props drive UI updates. We also set up a real React project using Vite and walked through its generated structure to understand what a modern React application is made of.
In the next chapter, we'll build upon this knowledge and go into React component building in more depth. We'll learn about building functional components and using Hooks.
