Overview of this book

Filled with useful React patterns that you can use in your projects straight away, this book will help you save time and build better web applications with ease. React 17 Design Patterns and Best Practices is a hands-on guide for those who want to take their coding skills to a new level. You’ll spend most of your time working your way through the principles of writing maintainable and clean code, but you’ll also gain a deeper insight into the inner workings of React. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll learn how to build components that are reusable across the application, how to structure applications, and create forms that actually work. Then you’ll build on your knowledge by exploring how to style React components and optimize them to make applications faster and more responsive. Once you’ve mastered the rest, you’ll learn how to write tests effectively and how to contribute to React and its ecosystem. By the end of this book, you'll be able to avoid the process of trial and error and developmental headaches. Instead, you’ll be able to use your new skills to efficiently build and deploy real-world React web applications you can be proud of.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned a great deal about how JSX works and how to use it in the right way in our components. We started from the basics of the syntax to create a solid knowledge base that will enable us to master JSX and its features.

In the second part, we looked at how to configure Prettier and how ESLint and its plugins can help us find problems faster and enforce a consistent style guide across our code base.

Finally, we went through the basics of FP to understand the important concepts to use when writing a React application.

Now that our code is clean, we are ready to start digging deeper into React and learn how to write truly reusable components in the next chapter.
