Enterprise React Development with UmiJS

By: Douglas Alves Venancio

Overview of this book

UmiJS is the Ant Group's underlying frontend development framework, an open source project for developing enterprise-class frontend applications. In this book, you'll get hands-on with single-page application development using UmiJS. By following practical step-by-step examples, you'll develop essential skills to build and publish your apps and create a modern user experience with responsive interfaces. This book will help you learn the essential features of UmiJS and how to set up and build a project from scratch using React, Less, and TypeScript. You'll study Ant Design, a framework based on solid design concepts that provides a series of React components to accelerate interface development. Along the way, you'll see how to make requests and develop the frontend using simulated data while ensuring that your app has a high level of security and feedback. You'll also discover ways to improve your code quality and readability using formatting tools. By the end of the book, you'll have learned how to use UmiJS to design user interfaces, as well as compile, test, and package your app locally, and deliver your app by deploying it to online services.

Chapter 3: Using Models, Services, and Mocking Data

One of the main features of a frontend web application is communication with the backend. Our application needs to collect user input and send it for processing.

In this chapter, you will learn how to define data by creating typescript interfaces and column definitions for the ProTable component. You will learn how to simulate the backend logic and data using Umi mock files. You will know how to send HTTP requests using the umi-request library. You will also learn to share states and logic between components using models.

We'll cover the following main topics:

  • Defining response types and column types
  • Creating the opportunity details page
  • Simulating data and API responses
  • Sending HTTP requests with Umi request
  • Using models for sharing states and logic

By the end of this chapter, you'll have learned how the data flow works in Umi and how to organize your projects using the services and...
