React Projects

Chapter 2: Creating a Portfolio in React with Reusable Components and Routing

Do you already feel familiar with React's core concepts after completing the first chapter? Great! This chapter will be no problem for you! If not, don't worry – most of the concepts you came across in the previous chapter will be repeated. However, if you want to get more experience with Webpack and Babel, it's recommended that you try creating the project in Chapter 1, Creating a Single-Page Application in React, again since this chapter won't be covering those topics.

In this chapter, you'll work with Create React App, a starter kit created by the React core team to get you started with React quickly. It will make the configuration of module bundlers and compilers such as Webpack and Babel unnecessary, as this will be taken care of by the Create React App package. This means you can focus on building your portfolio application, which reuses React components and has routing. Besides that, we'll be adding routing using react-router v6, which is the leading library for routing in React.

Alongside setting up Create React App, the following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Creating a new project with Create React App
  • Building reusable React components
  • Routing with react-router

Can't wait? Let's go!

Project overview

In this chapter, we will create an application with React that makes use of reusable React components and styling using Create React App and styled-components. The application will use data that is fetched from the public GitHub API.

The build time is 1.5–2 hours.

Getting started

The project you'll create in this chapter will use the public API from GitHub, which you can find at https://docs.github.com/en/rest. To use this API, you need to have a GitHub account, since you'll want to retrieve information from a GitHub user account. If you don't have a GitHub account yet, you can create one on the GitHub website. The complete source code for this application can also be found on GitHub: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/React-Projects-Second-Edition/tree/main/Chapter02.

Description

Developed by Facebook, React is a popular library for building impressive user interfaces. React extends its capabilities to mobile platforms using the React Native framework and integrates with popular web and mobile tools to build scalable applications. React Projects is your guide to learning React development by using modern development patterns and integrating React with powerful web tools, such as GraphQL, Expo, and React 360. You'll start building a real-world project right from the first chapter and get hands-on with developing scalable applications as you advance to building more complex projects. Throughout the book, you'll use the latest versions of React and React Native to explore features such as routing, Context, and Hooks on multiple platforms, which will help you build full-stack web and mobile applications efficiently. Finally, you'll get to grips with unit testing with Jest and end-to-end testing with Cypress to build test-driven apps. By the end of this React book, you'll have developed the skills necessary to start building scalable React apps across web and mobile platforms.

This book is like a collection of tutorial, from setup and super simple example app all the way to complex e-commerce and even gaming.I found it very practical, step by step, it definitely doesn't go too much into theory.I would totally recommend it to beginners, as having such a good variety of tutorial examples gives insight on all the possibilities that React unlocks for full stack development.

Roy Derks's experience with coding in React and educating audiences comes through in his writing style. I'm enjoying learning how to create 3D objects with React and three.js with this book, and Roy sets the context well with high-level explanations of how the technologies interact. 10/10, would recommend.

This book covers all the core concepts of React by taking you step by step to create things such as a portfolio page, shopping list, and an e-commerce application. I'm a huge advocate for project-based learning, especially with programming, and this book has a variety of fun things to build. The projects get more complex as you work your way through the book and you'll even get to put together a mobile app using React Native.React is the most popular frontend framework right now, but you need a solid understanding of JavaScript before learning a tool like this. The writing is straightforward, and there are plenty of code examples and helpful notes if you run into an error. I didn't have much trouble following along, but I would recommend joining a programming group to ask questions if you get stuck. I found a lot of helpful people in Facebook and LinkedIn groups. I also frequent Reddit, StackOverflow, and Discord.

If you're a beginner, this book is just as good as anywhere else to start. Informative and insightful, it builds a great knowledge base. I would recommend, at least, ensuring that you're using the most up to date software as this books recommendations (like any other print) will be a bit out of date by this point. The only downside, are the projects will need a bit more vision than what this book can supply. Which, in turn, may need a bit more time to work through obstacles. I still would recommend this book.

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.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.
