Overview of this book

Developing an interactive, efficient, and fast enterprise web application requires both the right approach and tooling. If you are a web developer looking for a way to tap the power of React’s reusable UI components and the simplicity of Flask for backend development to develop production-ready, scalable web apps in Python, then this book is for you. Starting with an introduction to React, a JavaScript library for building highly interactive and reusable user interfaces, you’ll progress to data modeling for the web using SQLAlchemy and PostgreSQL, and then get to grips with Restful API development. This book will aid you in identifying your app users and managing access to your web application. You’ll also explore modular architectural design for Flask-based web applications and master error-handling techniques. Before you deploy your web app on AWS, this book will show you how to integrate unit testing best practices to ensure code reliability and functionality, making your apps not only efficient and fast but also robust and dependable. By the end of this book, you’ll have acquired deep knowledge of the Flask and React technology stacks, which will help you undertake web application development with confidence.

Displaying lists in React

Most web applications we see around today use list components in describing a user interface. In any complex web application project or production-grade application, you will see the list feature, often used in data presentation. In React, you can use a list to display your component data.

We are going to use mocked data to showcase how you can use map() to fetch a list of data items. We will also discuss the essence of the key and id attributes in React list management. The GitHub repository for this book’s project (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Full-Stack-Flask-Web-Development-with-React/tree/main/Chapter-05/06/frontend) contains the mocked conference speakers data source; you can find images in the public folders and css (index.css) inside the src folder.

However, the backend section of this book (Chapter 9, API Development and Documentation) will explain how we can pull this data from an API endpoint developed in Flask.
