In Detail

ReactJS is an open-source JavaScript library that intends to bring aspects of reactive programming to web applications and sites. It aims to address challenges encountered in developing single-page applications. React's core principles are declarative code, efficiency, and flexibility. It is intended to help developers build large applications using data that change over time.

This book is a comprehensive guide with five complete projects, each focusing on the characteristics of ReactJS. You will learn to efficiently build up customized user interfaces for your own applications with this book.

Starting with a project on instapusher, you will be introduced to React and work with JSX before gradually moving onto learning about the data flow and the life cycle of a React component.

In the second project based on building a multi-step wizard form, you will learn about composite dynamic components and how to use mixins, nodes, and perform DOM actions.

The third project focusing on a search engine application, will teach you to build a powerful and fast search engine by exploring server-side rendering, two-way binding helpers, test utilities, and performance tools.

Next, you will build a front-page for an E-Commerce App in the fourth project by using data models and react-routes. You will also learn to use ReactAddons and test React components.

In the final project you will develop a complete social media tracker, by using the flux way of defining React Apps and know about the good conventions and use-cases with the help of ES6 and reflux.

By the end of this book, you will not only have a good understanding of ReactJS but will also have built your very own responsive and exceptional front-end applications from scratch.
