React Cookbook: Recipes for Mastering the React Framework

React helps you create and work on an app in just a few minutes. But learning how to put all the pieces together is hard. How do you validate a form? Or implement a complex multistep user action without writing messy code? How do you test your code? Make it reusable? Wire it to a backend? Keep it easy to understand? The React Cookbook delivers answers fast.

Many books teach you how to get started, understand the framework, or use a component library with React, but very few provide examples to help you solve particular problems. This easy-to-use cookbook includes the example code developers need to unravel the most common problems when using React, categorized by topic area and problem.

You'll learn how to:

Build a single-page application in React using a rich UI

Create progressive web applications that users can install and work with offline

Integrate with backend services such as REST and GraphQL

Automatically test for accessibility problems in your application

Secure applications with fingerprints and security tokens using WebAuthn

Deal with bugs and avoid common functional and performance problems
