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.

Merging our type definitions

Now that we've defined all our types, queries, and mutations, we need to merge all our GraphQL files to create our GraphQL schema, which is basically one big file containing all our GraphQL definitions.

For this, you need to create a file called /backend/src/graphql/types/index.ts that contains the following code:

import path from 'path'
import { loadFilesSync } from '@graphql-tools/load-files'
import { mergeTypeDefs } from '@graphql-tools/merge'

const typesArray = loadFilesSync(path.join(__dirname, './'), { extensions: ['graphql'] })

export default mergeTypeDefs(typesArray)

We are using @graphql-tools packages to load our GraphQL files and merging them into typesArray using the mergeTypesDefs method.
