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.

TDD

TDD is a development paradigm that puts writing tests first. You write the test first and then write code to validate. The main purpose of TDD is rapid feedback. You write a test, run it, and it fails. You then write minimal code to pass the test. Once the test passes, you then refactor your code appropriately.

These processes are iteratively repeated. Focusing on writing tests before code implementation allows developers to see the product from the users’ point of view, thus ensuring a working functionality that meets the users’ needs.

TDD enables software developers to come up with units of code base with a single responsibility – allowing code to do just one thing that works properly. However, the traditional approach is to code and then test. The idea of testing a code base at the end of the development process has been proven to be flawed and comes with a high cost of code maintenance.

Most software developers are more agile than test-driven....
