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. You can create an executable JAR file by using the mvn clean install Maven command.
  2. The easiest way to deploy a Spring Boot application is to push your application source code to GitHub and use the GitHub link from Heroku.
  3. The easiest way to deploy the React app to Heroku is to use the Heroku Buildpack for create-react-app, which can be found at https://github.com/mars/create-react-app-buildpack.
  4. Docker is a container platform that makes software development, deployment, and shipping easier. Containers are lightweight and executable software packages that include everything that is needed to run software.
  5. The Spring Boot application is just an executable JAR file that can be executed with Java. You can use it to create a Docker container for your Spring Boot application in a similar way to creating one for any Java JAR application.
  6. You can pull the latest MariaDB container...
