Rapid Application Development with AWS Amplify

By: Adrian Leung

Overview of this book

AWS Amplify is a modern toolkit that includes a command line interface (CLI); libraries for JS, iOS, and Android programming; UI component libraries for frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js for web development, and React Native and Flutter for mobile development. You'll begin by learning how to build AWS Amplify solutions with React and React Native with TypeScript from scratch, along with integrating it with existing solutions. This book will show you the fastest way to build a production-ready minimum viable product (MVP) within days instead of years. You'll also discover how to increase development speed without compromising on quality by adopting behavior-driven development (BDD) and Cypress for end-to-end test automation, as well as the Amplify build pipeline (DevOps or CI/CD pipeline) to ensure optimal quality throughout continuous test automation and continuous delivery. As you advance, you'll work with React to determine how to build progressive web apps (PWAs) with Amplify and React Native for cross-platform mobile apps. In addition to this, you'll find out how to set up a custom domain name for your new website and set up the AWS Amplify Admin UI for managing the content of your app effectively. By the end of this AWS book, you'll be able to build a full-stack AWS Amplify solution all by yourself.

Chapter 3: Pluggable Amplify UI Components

Welcome to Chapter 3, Pluggable Amplify Components. In this chapter, we will be covering the pre-built and pluggable Amplify UI components. We all know that writing an app or website from scratch can be very time-consuming. Amplify UI components such as sign-up screens, photo albums, and photo pickers are things that can be plug-and-play so that we can test our ideas first and then apply the styles and typography that we want. We will cover the following topics:

  • Adding Amplify UI components to the project
  • Customizing Amplify UI components
  • Applying styling such as typography and colors

We will cover these points for a ReactJS project, an Expo project, and a React Native project.
