Putting It All Together

At last! We can now build both the front- and backend of a website and use JavaScript on both sides! To bring it all together, let's build a small web application that uses an Express API with a React frontend and MongoDB.

For our final project, we'll use our skills to create a database-backed travelogue or travel journal, complete with photos and stories. Our approach will be to take this from an initial visual layout, all the way through to the front- and backend code. If your HTML/CSS skills aren't great, don't worry: the code is provided for you at multiple instances so you can begin working on your project where you'd like.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • The project brief
  • Scaffolding – React
  • The backend – setting up our API
  • The database – all CRUD operations
