Full Stack Development with Spring Boot and React

Chapter 1: Setting Up the Environment and Tools – Backend

In this book, we will learn about full stack development using Spring Boot in the backend and React in the frontend. The first half of this book focuses on backend development, and in the second half of the book, we will implement the frontend.

In this chapter, we will set up the environment and tools needed for backend programming with Spring Boot. Spring Boot is a modern Java-based backend framework that makes development faster than with traditional Java-based frameworks. With Spring Boot, you can make a standalone web application that has an embedded application server.

There are a lot of different integrated development environment (IDE) tools that you can use to develop Spring Boot applications. In this chapter, we will install Eclipse, which is an open source IDE for multiple programming languages. We will create our first Spring Boot project by using the Spring Initializr project starter page. The project is then imported into Eclipse and executed. Reading the console log is a crucial skill when developing Spring Boot applications, which we will also cover.

In this chapter, we will look into the following topics:

  • Installing Eclipse
  • Understanding Maven
  • Using Spring Initializr
  • Installing MariaDB

Technical requirements

The Java software development kit (SDK), version 8 or higher, is necessary to use the Eclipse IDE. In this book, we are using the Windows operating system, but all tools are available for Linux and macOS as well.

Description

Getting started with full stack development can be daunting. Even developers who are familiar with the best tools, such as Spring Boot and React, can struggle to nail the basics, let alone master the more advanced elements. If you’re one of these developers, this comprehensive guide covers everything you need! This updated edition of the Full Stack Development with Spring Boot 2 and React book will take you from novice to proficient in this expansive domain. Taking a practical approach, this book will first walk you through the latest Spring Boot features for creating a robust backend, covering everything from setting up the environment and dependency injection to security and testing. Once this has been covered, you’ll advance to React frontend programming. If you’ve ever wondered about custom Hooks, third-party components, and MUI, this book will demystify all that and much more. You’ll explore everything that goes into developing, testing, securing, and deploying your applications using all the latest tools from Spring Boot, React, and other cutting-edge technologies. By the end of this book, you'll not only have learned the theory of building modern full stack applications but also have developed valuable skills that add value in any setting.

Who is this book for?

This book is for Java developers who are familiar with Spring Boot but don’t know where to start when it comes to building full stack applications. You'll also find this book useful if you're a frontend developer with knowledge of JavaScript basics looking to learn full stack development or a full stack developer experienced in other technology stacks looking to learn a new one.

What you will learn

  • Make fast and RESTful web services powered by Spring Data REST
  • Create and manage databases using ORM, JPA, Hibernate, and more
  • Explore the use of unit tests and JWTs with Spring Security
  • Employ React Hooks, props, states, and more to create your frontend
  • Discover a wide array of advanced React and third-party components
  • Build high-performance applications complete with CRUD functionality
  • Harness MUI to customize your frontend
  • Test, secure, and deploy your applications with high efficiency

This book is awesome for developers tarting to get the interest on Spring Boot and React, as a full stack developer with these technologies that are a hit on the marquet this can be apretty good start to catch the topic, it was great to see a book with quality content and latest version I think is a pretty awesome feature, the tecnology is always updating day by day and sometimes is kind of hard to get the lastes version in a book. If you are dealing with Spring anotations and hard time undestanding them this book is for you.Probably the only think I can see is the basic knowlege on React on it, or probably it was for me after have more than time working on UI with react, but having the base you can impruve and look for new implementacions. In general I can said was an interesting book !

The book is a great way to start with Spring Boot and React. I am already familiar with Spring Boot, but it was great to see a book with the latest version and with everything in one place. It was great how the Author explains what each annotation is used for because Spring Boot is full of them!Also, something different here was the use of MariaDB. I'd not used it before but had been looking at their Cloud offering. So it was great to see it being used in the book.I've been wanting to get started with the basics of React for UI development, and this book was perfect as it combined it with Spring Boot.Glad I went through it!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
