Samenvatting:

Master modern React application architecture patterns and principles for building scalable, maintainable production apps and learn best practices in project structure, component design, state management, testing strategies, and more.

Key Features

• Master React architecture patterns and design principles for building maintainable, scalable frontend applications
• Develop production-ready React applications using proven methodologies from planning to production deployment
• Learn to make informed technology decisions and design scalable frontend systems that evolve with your needs

Book DescriptionBuilding production-grade React applications requires making dozens of architectural decisions, often with little cohesive guidance. This book teaches proven architectural patterns for building scalable, maintainable frontend apps, based on timeless principles and modern best practices. This updated edition features a modern stack: React Router in framework mode, TypeScript, TanStack Query, Zustand, React Hook Form, Zod, Shadcn UI, Vitest, and Playwright. It also adds new chapters on performance, accessibility, and internationalization. You’ll work through a real-world example that brings modern architecture concepts to life. Starting with architectural foundations, you’ll make informed decisions about project structure, enforce code quality, build a well-designed component library, and implement the right rendering strategies. From there, you’ll build robust API layers with types generated from an OpenAPI specification and implement the right state management strategies for each use case. You will also learn about different testing strategies and when to use them, how to secure the application, and how to make it performant so that it remains scalable and maintainable. By the end, you’ll be prepared to design and build scalable React apps from the ground up and lead technical decisions in real-world projects. What you will learn

• Design scalable React architecture that grows with your application
• Apply different rendering strategies such as SSR, CSR, pre-rendering, and hybrid rendering
• Build a robust type-safe API layer and use the right state management approach
• Implement techniques to improve performance with component architecture, code splitting, debouncing
• Build maintainable component systems and accessible, internationalized UIs
• Implement comprehensive testing strategies and learn to secure your app
• Use AI-assisted workflows to enforce architecture and improve your workflow

Who this book is for

This book is for intermediate-level web developers who already have a solid understanding of JavaScript, React, and web development in general and want to build large-scale modern React applications effectively. Some TypeScript experience, along with JavaScript and React, will be beneficial.
