Overview of this book

Facebook's React combined with industry-tested, server-side technologies, such as Node, Express, and MongoDB, enables you to develop and deploy robust real-world full-stack web apps. This updated second edition focuses on the latest versions and conventions of the technologies in this stack, along with their new features such as Hooks in React and async/await in JavaScript. The book also explores advanced topics such as implementing real-time bidding, a web-based classroom app, and data visualization in an expense tracking app. Full-Stack React Projects will take you through the process of preparing the development environment for MERN stack-based web development, creating a basic skeleton app, and extending it to build six different web apps. You’ll build apps for social media, classrooms, media streaming, online marketplaces with real-time bidding, and web-based games with virtual reality features. Throughout the book, you’ll learn how MERN stack web development works, extend its capabilities for complex features, and gain actionable insights into creating MERN-based apps, along with exploring industry best practices to meet the ever-increasing demands of the real world. By the end of this React book, you’ll be able to build production-ready MERN full-stack apps using advanced tools and techniques in modern web development.

The MERN Marketplace application we developed in Chapter 7, Exercising MERN Skills with an Online Marketplace, has very simple features and is missing core e-commerce functionality. In this chapter, we will extend this marketplace application so that it includes a shopping cart feature for the buyer, Stripe integration for processing credit card payments, and a basic order-management flow for the seller. The implementations that follow are kept simple to serve as starting points for developing more complex versions of these features for your own applications.

The code for the complete MERN Marketplace application is available on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Full-Stack-React-Projects-Second-Edition/tree/master/Chapter07%20and%2008/mern-marketplace. You can clone this code and run the application as you...
