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.

Tracking progress and enrollment stats

In a classroom application such as MERN Classroom, it can be valuable to let students visualize their progress in enrolled courses, and let instructors see how many students enrolled and completed their courses.

In this application, once a student is enrolled on a course, they will be able to go through each lesson in it, and mark it complete until all the lessons are done, and the whole course is complete. The application will leave visual cues to let a student know the state of their enrollments in courses. For instructors, once they publish a course, we will show the total number of students who enrolled on the course, and the total number of students who completed the course.

In the following sections, we will implement these capabilities, starting with letting users complete lessons and track their progress in a course, then listing...
