Unleash the power of GraphQL, React 17, Node, and Express to build a scalable and production-ready application from scratch to be deployed on AWS Key Features Build full-stack applications with modern APIs using GraphQL and React Hooks Integrate Apollo into React and build frontend components using GraphQL Implement a self-updating notification pop-up with a unique GraphQL feature called Subscriptions Book DescriptionReact and GraphQL, when combined, provide you with a very dynamic, efficient, and stable tech stack to build web-based applications. GraphQL is a modern solution for querying an API that represents an alternative to REST and is the next evolution in web development. This book guides you in creating a full-stack web application from scratch using modern web technologies such as Apollo, Express.js, Node.js, and React. First, you'll start by configuring and setting up your development environment. Next, the book demonstrates how to solve complex problems with GraphQL, such as abstracting multi-table database architectures and handling image uploads using Sequelize. You'll then build a complete Graphbook from scratch. While doing so, you'll cover the tricky parts of connecting React to the backend, and maintaining and synchronizing state. In addition to this, you'll also learn how to write Reusable React components and use React Hooks. Later chapters will guide you through querying data and authenticating users in order to enable user privacy. Finally, you'll explore how to deploy your application on AWS and ensure continuous deployment using Docker and CircleCI. By the end of this web development book, you'll have learned how to build and deploy scalable full-stack applications with ease using React and GraphQL. What you will learn Build a GraphQL API by implementing models and schemas with Apollo and Sequelize Set up an Apollo Client and build frontend components using React Write Reusable React components and use React Hooks Authenticate and query user data using GraphQL Use Mocha to write test cases for your full-stack application Deploy your application to AWS using Docker and CircleCI Who this book is forThis React GraphQL book is for web developers familiar with React and GraphQL who want to enhance their skills and build full-stack applications using industry standards like React, Apollo, Node.js, and SQL at scale while learning to solve complex problems with GraphQL.

Unearth the power of GraphQL, React, Apollo, Node, and Express to build a scalable, production ready application Key Features Build full stack applications with modern APIs using GraphQL and Apollo Integrate Apollo into React and build frontend components using GraphQL Implement a self-updating notification pop-up with a unique GraphQL feature called Subscriptions Book DescriptionReact, one of the most widely used JavaScript frameworks, allows developers to build fast and scalable front end applications for any use case. GraphQL is the modern way of querying an API. It represents an alternative to REST and is the next evolution in web development. Combining these two revolutionary technologies will give you a future-proof and scalable stack you can start building your business around. This book will guide you in implementing applications by using React, Apollo, Node.js and SQL. We'll focus on solving complex problems with GraphQL, such as abstracting multi-table database architectures and handling image uploads. Our client, and server will be powered by Apollo. Finally we will go ahead and build a complete Graphbook. While building the app, we'll cover the tricky parts of connecting React to the back end, and maintaining and synchronizing state. We'll learn all about querying data and authenticating users. We'll write test cases to verify the front end and back end functionality for our application and cover deployment. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in using GraphQL and React for your full-stack development requirements. What you will learn Resolve data from multi-table database and system architectures Build a GraphQL API by implementing models and schemas with Apollo and Sequelize Set up an Apollo Client and build front end components using React Use Mocha to test your full-stack application Write complex React components and share data across them Deploy your application using Docker Who this book is forThe book is for web developers who want to enhance their skills and build complete full stack applications using industry standards. Familiarity with JavaScript, React, and GraphQL is expected to get the most from this book.
