LAST UPDATE: 9. June 2021The Road to React: Your journey to master React.js in JavaScript - is a comprehensive and pragmatic yet concise React feat. Hooks book.What you will learn.In "The Road to React" you will learn about all the fundamentals of React.js with Hooks while building a full-blown React application step by step. While you create the React application, every chapter will introduce you to a new React key feature. However, there is more than only the fundamentals: The book dives into related topics (e.g. React with TypeScript, Testing, Performance Optimizations) and advanced feature implementations like client- and server-side searching. At the end of the book, you will have a fully working deployed React application.Is it up to date?Programming books are usually outdated soon after their release, but since this book is self- published, I can update it as needed whenever a new version of something related to this book gets released.I am a beginner. Is this book for me?Yes. The book starts from zero and takes you through the learning experience step by step. Every chapter builds up on the learnings from the previous chapter. In addition, at the end of every chapter, exercises fortify your lessons learned. If you got stuck in a chapter, you will always find a reference URL to the status quo of the actual code.Core ConceptsPragmatic: Master React while building a complete application step by step.Problems Solving: You need to experience a problem first before solving it.The Why: Readers like how the book answers the Why, not only the How.Table of ContentsFundamentals of ReactHello ReactRequirementsSetting up a React ProjectMeet the React ComponentReact JSXLists in ReactMeet another React ComponentReact Component InstantiationReactDOMReact Component Definition (Advanced)Handler Function in JSXReact PropsReact StateCallback Handlers in JSXLifting State in ReactReact Controlled ComponentsProps Handling (Advanced)React Side-EffectsReact Custom Hooks (Advanced)React FragmentsReusable React ComponentReact Component CompositionImperative ReactInline Handler in JSXReact Asynchronous DataReact Conditional RenderingReact Advanced StateReact Impossible StatesData Fetching with ReactData Re-Fetching in ReactMemoized Handler in React (Advanced)Explicit Data Fetching with ReactThird-Party Libraries in ReactAsync/Await in React (Advanced)Forms in ReactReact's LegacyReact Class ComponentsReact Class Components: StateImperative ReactStyling in ReactCSS in ReactCSS Modules in ReactStyled Components in ReactSVGs in ReactReact MaintenancePerformance in React (Advanced)TypeScript in ReactUnit Testing to Integration TestingReact Project StructureReal World React (Advanced)SortingReverse SortRemember Last SearchesPaginated FetchDeploying a React ApplicationBuild ProcessDeploy to Firebase

The Road to GraphQL is your personal journey to master pragmatic GraphQL in JavaScript. The book is full with applications you are going to build along the way with React.js and Node.js. Afterward, you will be able to implement full-stack JavaScript applications.I wrote the The Road to GraphQL over the last year, while building several GraphQL applications for my clients and for myself. During this time, I came to understand the practical genius of GraphQL, and how it dramatically improves communication in client-server architectures. Not only does it improve the interface between the client and the server, it also enhances client-side state management by eliminating remote data management. Sophisticated GraphQL libraries like Apollo Client provide powerful features like caching, optimistic UI, and data prefetching for free. This book covers the fundamentals of GraphQL itself, as well as its ecosystem. I applied the same principles as my other books: Stay pragmaticKeep it simpleAnswer the why, not just the howExperience a problem, solve a problemThis book is not intended to be an end-all reference for GraphQL APIs, nor an in-depth guide about the internals of the GraphQL specification. Instead, its purpose is to journey through learning GraphQL with JavaScript the pragmatic way, building client and server applications yourself. The book covers lots of facets about GraphQL in JavaScript that are important for building modern applications, without just throwing the libraries like Apollo at problems before experiencing them. It starts with the basic HTTP requests to perform GraphQL queries first, then moves on to using dedicated GraphQL libraries for it. You will even get the chance to implement your own GraphQL client library, so you understand how these libraries work under the hood. There are no hidden abstractions in this book, just plenty of fundamentals for JavaScript, React.js, Node.js, and GraphQL.RequirementsTo get the most out of this book, you should be familiar with the basics of web development, which includes some knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. You will also need to be familiar with the term API, because they are discussed frequently. I encourage you to join the official Slack Group for the book, help or get help from others.ReactOn the client-side, this book uses React to teach about GraphQL in JavaScript. My other book called The Road to learn React teaches you all the fundamentals about React. It also teaches you to make the transition from JavaScript ES5 to JavaScript ES6. The book is available for free and after having read the Road to learn React, you should possess all the knowledge to implement the GraphQL client-side application with this book.NodeOn the server-side, this book uses Node with Express as library to teach about GraphQL in JavaScript. You don't need to know much about those technologies before using them for your first GraphQL powered applications. The book will guide you through the process of setting up a Node application with Express and shows you how to weave GraphQL into the mix. Afterward, you should be able to consume the GraphQL API provided by your server-side application in your client-side application.
