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.

Adding auctions to the marketplace

In the MERN Marketplace, we will allow a user who is signed in and has an active seller account to create auctions for items that they want other users to place bids on. To enable the features of adding and managing auctions, we will need to define how to store auction details and implement the full-stack slices that will let users create, access and update auctions on the platform. In the following sections, we will build out this auction module for the application. First, we will define the auction model with a Mongoose Schema for storing details about each auction. Then, we will discuss implementations for the backend APIs and frontend views that are needed to create new auctions, list auctions that are ongoing, created by the same seller and bid on by the same user, and modify existing auctions by either editing details of, or deleting an...
