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.

View order details


With Order collection and the database access all set up, moving forward it is easy to add the features of listing orders for each user, and showing details of a single order in a separate view where the user can track the status of each ordered product:

Following the steps repeated throughout this book, for setting up backend APIs to retrieve data and using it in the frontend to construct frontend views, you can develop order-related views as desired, taking inspiration from the snapshots of these sample views in the MERN Marketplace application code:

The MERN Marketplace application developed in this and Chapter 6Exercising New MERN Skills with an Online Marketplace, by building on the MERN skeleton application, covered the crucial features for a standard online marketplace application. This, in turn, demonstrated how the MERN stack can be extended to incorporate complex features.
