Overview of this book

React and GraphQL, when combined, provide you with a very dynamic, efficient, and stable tech stack to build web-based applications. GraphQL is a modern solution for querying an API that represents an alternative to REST and is the next evolution in web development. This book guides you in creating a full-stack web application from scratch using modern web technologies such as Apollo, Express.js, Node.js, and React. First, you’ll start by configuring and setting up your development environment. Next, the book demonstrates how to solve complex problems with GraphQL, such as abstracting multi-table database architectures and handling image uploads using Sequelize. You’ll then build a complete Graphbook from scratch. While doing so, you’ll cover the tricky parts of connecting React to the backend, and maintaining and synchronizing state. In addition to this, you’ll also learn how to write Reusable React components and use React Hooks. Later chapters will guide you through querying data and authenticating users in order to enable user privacy. Finally, you’ll explore how to deploy your application on AWS and ensure continuous deployment using Docker and CircleCI. By the end of this web development book, you'll have learned how to build and deploy scalable full-stack applications with ease using React and GraphQL.

Chapter 5: Reusable React Components and React Hooks

We have done a lot to reach this point in the book, including saving, requesting, inserting, and updating data through the use of Apollo Client, in connection with our GraphQL application programming interface (API). Much of the code that we have written will also have to be reviewed many times. This is especially important because we are building an application so quickly. Everything is working for now, but we have not done a great job here; there are some best practices and tactics that need to be observed in order to write good React applications.

This chapter will cover everything you need to know to write efficient and reusable React components. It will cover the following topics:

  • Introducing React patterns
  • Structuring our React application
  • Extending Graphbook
  • Documenting React applications
