Enhance your web development projects by fully leveraging Node.js concepts, tools, and best practices at frontend Key Features Discover the internals of Node.js, focusing on frontend web development Explore the npm frontend ecosystem, including its tooling, usage, and development processes Learn about key web development concepts such as monorepos or publishing libraries Book DescriptionAlmost a decade after the release of Node.js, the tooling used by frontend developers is fully embracing this cross-platform JavaScript runtime, which is sadly often limited to server-side web development. This is where this Node.js book comes in, showing you what this popular runtime has to offer and how you can unlock its full potential to create frontend-focused web apps. You'll begin by learning the basics and internals of Node.js, before discovering how to divide your code into modules and packages. Next, you'll get to grips with the most popular package managers and their uses and find out how to use TypeScript and other JavaScript variants with Node.js. Knowing which tool to use when is crucial, so this book helps you understand all the available state-of-the-art tools in Node.js. You'll interact with linters such as ESLint and formatters such as Prettier. As you advance, you'll become well-versed with the Swiss Army Knife for frontend developers - the bundler. You'll also explore various testing utilities, such as Jest, for code quality verification. Finally, you'll be able to publish your code in reusable packages with ease. By the end of this web development book, you'll have gained the knowledge to confidently choose the right code structure for your repositories with all that you've learned about monorepos. What you will learn Develop a frontend application with Node.js-based tools and libraries Use bundlers such as webpack or Vite to create efficient web applications Leverage test runners such as Jest to ship reliable software Organize code repositories to work in close collaboration with other developers and teams Find out how to publish npm packages to simplify code reuse Improve code quality by enabling consistent formatting using Prettier Who this book is forThis book is for junior and intermediate-level frontend web developers who are looking to leverage the Node.js ecosystem for building frontend solutions. The book requires beginner-level knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Prior experience in using a standard shell (sh) will be beneficial.

Apply your experience of web development with HTML and JavaScript to build micro frontends for large-scale web projects using frameworks such as React and popular web tooling such as Node.js with Express or webpack Key Features Cut through the complexities of designing a monolithic web architecture using micro frontend architecture Explore architecture patterns for building large-scale applications Learn how to build, test, and secure your micro frontends efficiently Book DescriptionMicro frontend is a web architecture for frontend development borrowed from the idea of microservices in software development, where each module of the frontend is developed and shipped in isolation to avoid complexity and a single point of failure for your frontend. Complete with hands-on tutorials, projects, and self-assessment questions, this easy-to-follow guide will take you through the patterns available for implementing a micro frontend solution. You'll learn about micro frontends in general, the different architecture styles and their areas of use, how to prepare teams for the change to micro frontends, as well as how to adjust the UI design for scalability. Starting with the simplest variants of micro frontend architectures, the book progresses from static approaches to fully dynamic solutions that allow maximum scalability with faster release cycles. In the concluding chapters, you'll reinforce the knowledge you've gained by working on different case studies relating to micro frontends. By the end of this book, you'll be able to decide if and how micro frontends should be implemented to achieve scalability for your user interface (UI). What you will learn Understand how to choose the right micro frontend architecture Design screens for compositional UIs Create a great developer experience for micro frontend solutions Achieve enhanced user experiences with micro frontends Introduce governance and boundary checks for managing distributed frontends Build scalable modular web applications from scratch or by migrating an existing monolith Who this book is forThis book is for software/solution architects or (mostly lead) developers as well as web developers and frontend engineers. Beginner-level knowledge of HTML and CSS along with a solid understanding of JavaScript programming and its ecosystem, including Node.js and NPM, is assumed.
