Hands-On Full-Stack Web Development with GraphQL and React

Overview of this book

React, one of the most widely used JavaScript frameworks, allows developers to build fast and scalable front end applications for any use case. GraphQL is the modern way of querying an API. It represents an alternative to REST and is the next evolution in web development. Combining these two revolutionary technologies will give you a future-proof and scalable stack you can start building your business around. This book will guide you in implementing applications by using React, Apollo, Node.js and SQL. We'll focus on solving complex problems with GraphQL, such as abstracting multi-table database architectures and handling image uploads. Our client, and server will be powered by Apollo. Finally we will go ahead and build a complete Graphbook. While building the app, we'll cover the tricky parts of connecting React to the back end, and maintaining and synchronizing state. We'll learn all about querying data and authenticating users. We'll write test cases to verify the front end and back end functionality for our application and cover deployment. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in using GraphQL and React for your full-stack development requirements.

localStorage versus cookie

Let's take a look at another critical question. It is crucial to understand at least the basics of how authentication works and how it is secured. You are responsible for any faulty implementation that allows data breaches, so always keep this in mind. Where do we store the token we receive from the server?

In whichever direction you send a token, you should always be sure that your communication is secure. For web applications like ours, be sure that HTTPS is enabled and used for all requests. After the user has successfully authenticated the use, it receives the JWT, according to the JWT authentication workflow. A JWT is not tied to any particular storage medium, so you are free to choose whichever you prefer. If we do not store the token when it is received, it will be only available in the memory. While the user is browsing our site, this is...
