Overview of this book

Developing an interactive, efficient, and fast enterprise web application requires both the right approach and tooling. If you are a web developer looking for a way to tap the power of React’s reusable UI components and the simplicity of Flask for backend development to develop production-ready, scalable web apps in Python, then this book is for you. Starting with an introduction to React, a JavaScript library for building highly interactive and reusable user interfaces, you’ll progress to data modeling for the web using SQLAlchemy and PostgreSQL, and then get to grips with Restful API development. This book will aid you in identifying your app users and managing access to your web application. You’ll also explore modular architectural design for Flask-based web applications and master error-handling techniques. Before you deploy your web app on AWS, this book will show you how to integrate unit testing best practices to ensure code reliability and functionality, making your apps not only efficient and fast but also robust and dependable. By the end of this book, you’ll have acquired deep knowledge of the Flask and React technology stacks, which will help you undertake web application development with confidence.

We discussed the topics of components, props and state, JSX, event handling, forms, and routing in React.

In this chapter, we will focus on unit testing in React applications, a type of software testing that focuses on isolated piece(s) of code. Also, we will explore Jest, a Node-based test runner. The test runner allows you to discover test files, run tests, and find out whether tests passed or failed automatically. You will then end with a report in a very clear, expressive, and human-readable format.

Jest is a popular testing framework developed with React in mind. The project was formally owned by Meta, the same company behind React. However, with the recent...
