To get the most out of this book

To get the most out of this book, we assume that readers will have the following prerequisite knowledge: an understanding of JavaScript, object-oriented JavaScript, the concurrency model, and event loop; an understanding of functional programming involving the concepts of pure functions, functional composition, avoiding shared state, avoiding mutation, and avoiding side effects; an understanding of the different approaches to programming, including imperative and declarative approaches; and a basic understanding of database management systems.

We also expect readers to follow the resources that are highlighted as further reading at the end of each chapter. In addition to this, all the code shared in GitHub will not be the only solution. There may be multiple ways to solve the same problem. What we have presented in this book is just one of these ways, involving open source technologies.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in the text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "According to the BMI scale, someone with bmi between 30.0 and 54 is said to have obesity"

A block of code is set as follows:

import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
ReactDOM.render(
<BrowserRouter>
<App />
</BrowserRouter>,
document.getElementById('root')
);

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

<Route
path="/about"
render={() => (
<div> This is about us page. </div>
)}
/>

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ yarn add connected-react-router --exact

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select System info from the Administration panel."

Warnings or important notes appear like this.
