Hands-on Full-Stack Web Development with GraphQL and React

Unearth the power of GraphQL React Apollo Node and Express to build a scalable production ready applicationKey FeaturesBuild full stack applications with modern APIs using GraphQL and ApolloIntegrate Apollo into React and build frontend components using GraphQLImplement a self-updating notification pop-up with a unique GraphQL feature called SubscriptionsBook 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. Well 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 well cover the tricky parts of connecting React to the back end and maintaining and synchronizing state. Well learn all about querying data and authenticating users. Well 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 learnResolve data from multi-table database and system architecturesBuild a GraphQL API by implementing models and schemas with Apollo and SequelizeSet up an Apollo Client and build front end components using ReactUse Mocha to test your full-stack applicationWrite complex React components and share data across themDeploy your application using DockerWho 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.
