In this book, we will create a modern web application using Spring Boot 2.0 and React. We will start from the backend and develop a RESTful web service using Spring Boot and MariaDB. We will also secure the backend and create unit tests for it. The frontend will be developed using the React JavaScript library. Different third-party React components will be used to make the frontend more user friendly. Finally, the application will be deployed to Heroku. The book also demonstrates how to Dockerize our backend.

Overview of this book
React Hooks have changed the way React components are coded. They enable you to write components in a more intuitive way without using classes, which makes your code easier to read and maintain. Building on from the previous edition, this book is updated with React Hooks and the latest changes introduced in create-react-app and Spring Boot 2.1.
This book starts with a brief introduction to Spring Boot. You’ll understand how to use dependency injection and work with the data access layer of Spring using Hibernate as the ORM tool. You’ll then learn how to build your own RESTful API endpoints for web applications. As you advance, the book introduces you to other Spring components, such as Spring Security to help you secure the backend. Moving on, you’ll explore React and its app development environment and components for building your frontend. Finally, you’ll create a Docker container for your application by implementing the best practices that underpin professional full stack web development.
By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with all the knowledge you need to build modern full stack applications with Spring Boot for the backend and React for the frontend.
