If you have been burnt by unreliable JavaScript frameworks before, you will be amazed by the maturity of the Angular platform. If you find it difficult to start new projects and pick the right tools and frameworks, frequently run into bugs, or find yourself lost in a sea of terms such as containers, Kanban, and Continuous Integration, then ...

Learn how to create dynamic full-stack applications with ReactJS and other leading JavaScript tools - smarter web development starts hereAbout This Book* Harness the impressive power of ReactJS and rethink full-stack web development* Build dynamic web applications using the tools created by the innovators driving the tech industry* Created to make you a smarter, more confident web developerWho This Book Is ForThis book is for JavaScript developers who want to create highly scalable, enterprise-grade apps. Basic knowledge of React.JS is necessary, however you do not need detailed knowledge of the other stack components such as Node.JS, Express, MongoDB, or Falcor.What You Will Learn* See how to build a full-stack app that is scalable and designed for the demands of modern users* Create a powerful JWT-based authentication full-stack "starter-kit"* Make your app extremely stable and resilient with Redux and its immutable single state tree* Explore the new possibilities given by Falcor, the middleware built by Netflix* Find out how Redux works alongside ReactJS - and how it makes building an isomorphic app easier* Deploy and maintain your apps successfully using Docker and AWSIn DetailFull-stack web development is being redefined by the impact of ReactJS. If MEAN demonstrated just how effective combining JavaScript frameworks and tools could be for the modern web developer, by replacing Angular with React, developers have an easier way to build isomorphic web applications where code can run on both the client and server.This book will get you up to speed with one of the latest strategies to meet the demands of today's dynamic and data-intensive web. Combining detailed insights and guidance with practical and actionable information that will ensure you can build a complete isomorphic web app, it's an essential resource for the forward-thinking developer.You'll learn how to create a reliable and powerful back-end platform with Node.js and Express, as well as exploring how to use MongoDB as the primary database. You'll see how its flexibility is a core part of any full-stack developer's workflow, as well as learning how to use Mongoose alongside it to make data storage safer and more reliable.You'll also get to grips with Redux, and discover how it perfectly complements React to help you to create consistent and stable applications, providing a single immutable store for your entire application, which means that achieving the level of dynamism you want is easier.This book is about more than just dressing up past trends in a new name. It's about the future of development, and about full-stack development with a cutting edge. With insights and guidance on Falcor, the impressive middleware that powers the Netflix UI, the full-stack puzzle will almost be complete. But we'll take you further, beyond development and into deployment, as you learn how to get your application out there using AWS and Docker, which gives you full control over how you manage and maintain your app once it's being used.

Assemble the complete stack required to build a modern web app using MongoDB, Express, React, and Node. This book also covers many other complementary tools: React Router, GraphQL, React-Bootstrap, Babel, and Webpack. This new edition will use the latest version of React (React 16) and the latest React Router (React Router 4), which has a significantly different approach to routing compared to React Router 2 which was used in the first edition of the book. Though the primary focus of Pro MERN Stack is to equip you with all that is required to build a full-fledged web application, a large portion of the book will be devoted to React 16. The popular MEAN (MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, Node) stack introduced Single Page Apps (SPAs) and front-end Model-View-Controller (MVC) as new and efficient paradigms. Facebook's React is a technology that competes indirectly with AngularJS. It is not a full-fledged MVC framework. It is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces (in some sense the View part). Yet, it is possible to build a web app by replacing AngularJS with React – hence the term MERN stack What You Will LearnDiscover the features of React 16 to get the maximum out of this library Gain the basics of MongoDB, Express, and Node to build a web app Work with other libraries complementary to React, including React-Bootstrap, React Router, and GraphQL Use tools such as Babel and Webpack required to build JavaScript-based SPAs Tie all the components together to build a complete web app. Who This Book Is For Developers and architects who have prior experience in any web app stack other than the MERN stack will find the book useful to learn about this modern stack. Prior knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS is required.
