Hands-On Full Stack Development with Spring Boot 2 and React - Second Edition

By: Juha Hinkula

Overview of this book

React Hooks have changed the way React components are coded. They enable you to write components in a more intuitive way without using classes, which makes your code easier to read and maintain. Building on from the previous edition, this book is updated with React Hooks and the latest changes introduced in create-react-app and Spring Boot 2.1. This book starts with a brief introduction to Spring Boot. You’ll understand how to use dependency injection and work with the data access layer of Spring using Hibernate as the ORM tool. You’ll then learn how to build your own RESTful API endpoints for web applications. As you advance, the book introduces you to other Spring components, such as Spring Security to help you secure the backend. Moving on, you’ll explore React and its app development environment and components for building your frontend. Finally, you’ll create a Docker container for your application by implementing the best practices that underpin professional full stack web development. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with all the knowledge you need to build modern full stack applications with Spring Boot for the backend and React for the frontend.

  1. Jest is a test library for JavaScript developed by Facebook.
  2. Create a test file using the .test.js extension. Implement your test cases inside the file. You can run the tests using the npm test command.
  3. For snapshot testing, you have to install the react-test-render package and import renderer to your test file. Implement your snapshot test cases inside the file and run the tests using the npm test command.
  4. Enzyme is a JavaScript library for testing the React component's output.
  5. Using the following npm command, npm install enzyme enzyme-adapter-react-16 --save-dev, we can install Enzyme.
  6. You have to import the Enzyme and Adapter components to your test file. Then, you can create your test cases to render a component. With Enzyme, you can use Jest for assertions. Enzyme provides the simulate method that can be used to test events.
