Enterprise React Development with UmiJS

By: Douglas Alves Venancio

Overview of this book

UmiJS is the Ant Group's underlying frontend development framework, an open source project for developing enterprise-class frontend applications. In this book, you'll get hands-on with single-page application development using UmiJS. By following practical step-by-step examples, you'll develop essential skills to build and publish your apps and create a modern user experience with responsive interfaces. This book will help you learn the essential features of UmiJS and how to set up and build a project from scratch using React, Less, and TypeScript. You'll study Ant Design, a framework based on solid design concepts that provides a series of React components to accelerate interface development. Along the way, you'll see how to make requests and develop the frontend using simulated data while ensuring that your app has a high level of security and feedback. You'll also discover ways to improve your code quality and readability using formatting tools. By the end of the book, you'll have learned how to use UmiJS to design user interfaces, as well as compile, test, and package your app locally, and deliver your app by deploying it to online services.

Understanding code style and consistency

In this section, we'll discuss code style with some examples, so you will be able to understand why it's essential to use tools such as Prettier, EditorConfig, and ESLint when working on large enterprise projects.

We will not discuss JavaScript code conventions, but if you want to revise this topic, I recommend you read the Mozilla Developer Network JavaScript Guidelines at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Guidelines/Code_guidelines/JavaScript.

Each developer has their preferences when deciding how to format code. Even when following a specific language convention, some decisions about the code formatting can divide developers. Consider the following function invocation example:

function execute(param1, param2, param3) {
    return param1 + param2 + param3;
}
execute(arg1, arg2, arg3);

Here, we invoke the function by passing the arguments inline. In some cases, when passing more arguments...
