Overview of this book

Today, full-stack development is the name of the game. Developers who can build complete solutions, including both backend and frontend products, are in great demand in the industry, hence being able to do so a desirable skill. However, embarking on the path to becoming a modern full-stack developer can be overwhelmingly difficult, so the key purpose of this book is to simplify and ease the process. This comprehensive guide will take you through the journey of becoming a full-stack developer in the realm of the web and .NET. It begins by implementing data-oriented RESTful APIs, leveraging ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework. Afterward, it describes the web development field, including its history and future horizons. Then, you’ll build webbased Single-Page Applications (SPAs) by learning about numerous popular technologies, namely TypeScript, Angular, React, and Vue. After that, you’ll learn about additional related concerns involving deployment, hosting, and monitoring by leveraging the cloud; specifically, Azure. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build, deploy, and monitor cloud-based, data-oriented, RESTful APIs, as well as modern web apps, using the most popular frameworks and technologies.

Props


Like other component frameworks, React supports parent-child component interaction by using props. Every component in React has an accessible props property, which is a key-value object containing all the data passed in from the parent component.

 

Consider the following example:

import React from 'react';

class Child extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <span>Hello {this.props.greet}</span>
    );
  }
}

export default Child;

The Child component is a simple component that renders a span element with some greeting text. Importantly, it uses the props object while rendering, meaning it expects a text property to be passed down from the parent. To pass down expected props, a parent component simply needs to specify those as simple HTML-like attributes, as follows:

import React from 'react';
import Child from './Child';

class Parent extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Child text='Props and State' />
      ...
