Overview of this book

A Blueprint for Production-Ready Web Applications will help you expand upon your coding knowledge and teach you how to create a complete web application. Unlike other guides that focus solely on a singular technology or process, this book shows you how to combine different technologies and processes as needed to meet industry standards. You’ll begin by learning how to set up your development environment, and use Quart and React to create the backend and frontend, respectively. This book then helps you get to grips with managing and validating accounts, structuring relational tables, and creating forms to manage data. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of web application development by creating a to-do app, which can be used as a base for your future projects. Finally, you’ll find out how to deploy and monitor your application, along with discovering advanced concepts such as managing database migrations and adding multifactor authentication. By the end of this web development book, you’ll be able to apply the lessons and industry best practices that you’ve learned to both your personal and work projects, allowing you to further develop your coding portfolio.

Including user accounts

As we want users to be able to log into our app, we will need to authenticate that the client is who they claim to be. Thereafter, we need to ensure that each user only gets to see their own to-dos. This is typically achieved by the user entering a username and password, which are then checked against stored versions.

We will need to authenticate every request the user makes to the backend; however, we ideally only want the user to enter their username and password once (until they log out). We can achieve this by saving information to a cookie when the user logs in, as the browser will then send us the cookie with every request.

We will need to save a piece of identifying information to the cookie when the user logs in and starts the session; for example, their user ID. We can then read the cookie on every request and identify which user it is. However, cookies can be edited, or faked, by the client so we need to ensure that the information in the cookie...
