Full-Stack React Projects

By: Shama Hoque

Overview of this book

The benefits of using a full JavaScript stack for web development are undeniable, especially when robust and widely adopted technologies such as React, Node, and Express and are available. Combining the power of React with industry-tested, server-side technologies, such as Node, Express, and MongoDB, creates a diverse array of possibilities when developing real-world web applications. This book guides you through preparing the development environment for MERN stack-based web development, to creating a basic skeleton application and extending it to build four different web applications. These applications include a social media, an online marketplace, a media streaming, and a web-based game application with virtual reality features. While learning to set up the stack and developing a diverse range of applications with this book, you will grasp the inner workings of the MERN stack, extend its capabilities for complex features, and gain actionable knowledge of how to prepare MERN-based applications to meet the growing demands of real-world web applications.

Game list views


Visitors to MERN VR Game will access the games on the application from lists rendered on the home page and individual user profiles. The home page will list all the games on the application, and the games by a specific maker will be listed on their user profile page. The list views will iterate through game data fetched using the list APIs and render details of each game in the GameDetail component.

All games

The Home component will fetch the list of all the games in the game collection using the list API when the component mounts.

mern-vrgame/client/core/Home.js:

componentDidMount = () => {
    list().then((data) => {
      if (data.error) {
        console.log(data.error) 
      } else {
        this.setState({games: data}) 
      }
    })
}

The list of games retrieved from the server will be set to state and iterated over to render a GameDetail component with each game in the list.

mern-vrgame/client/core/Home.js:

{this.state.games.map((game, i) => {
     return &lt...
