To get the most out of this book

You will need Spring Boot version 3.x in this book. All code examples are tested using Spring Boot 3.1 and React 18 on Windows. When installing any React libraries, you should check the latest installation command from their documentation and see whether there are any major changes related to the version used in this book.

The technical requirements for each chapter are stated at the start of the chapter.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book’s GitHub repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Full-Stack-Development-with-Spring-Boot-3-and-React-Fourth-Edition. Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
