React

React is a JavaScript framework for developing user interfaces for desktop browsers and mobile devices. This open source framework was originally developed by Facebook and is now used by Airbnb, Netflix, and other major companies.

This book uses a case study to demonstrate the concepts behind React, React Router, and Redux, and teaches you how to develop reusable UI components and use them to build complete applications.

Topics include:

• Developing and testing of React components based on the ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) JavaScript standard
• Routing with React Router
• The Flux architecture model and how to use it to implement complete applications (using the Redux framework as an example)
• Server-side rendering of React components and applications
• Integrating a REST backend

The ES6 language features used in the book are introduced in a separate chapter, so ES5 developers can jump right in. Once you have read this book, you will be able to design and implement your own React projects.
