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.

Summary

In this chapter, we transitioned from our one-screen application to a multi-page setup. React Router, our main library for routing purposes, now has three paths, under which we display different parts of Graphbook. Furthermore, we now have a catch-all route, in which we can redirect the user to a valid page.

We will continue with this progression by implementing server-side rendering, which needs many adjustments on both the front end and the back end.
