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.

Adding React Router in React

You need to install React Router to use it in your project. We are going to build the navigation features for the Bizza project to connect different components. The navigation tabs will consist of the home, about, speakers, events, sponsors, and contact pages. Let’s start coding by entering this command in the project directory’s Terminal:

npm install react-router-dom@latest

Once we have the package installed in the root directory of our project, we can create the home, about, speakers, news, and contact pages components.

    import React from 'react';const HomePage = () => {    return <div> Home page </div>;};export default HomePage;
  • Inside src/pages/AboutPage/AboutPage.js, add the following:
    import React from 'react';const AboutPage = () => {...
