Setting Up the Environment and Tools - Backend

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 traditional Java-based frameworks. With Spring Boot, you can make a standalone web application that has an embedded application server.

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

Building an environment for Spring Boot development
The basics of the Eclipse IDE and Maven
Creating and running Spring Boot projects
Problem solving when running Spring Boot applications

Key benefits

Unleash the power of React Hooks to build interactive and complex user interfaces

Build scalable full stack applications designed to meet demands of modern users

Understand how the Axios library simplifies CRUD operations

Description

React Hooks have changed the way React components are coded. They enable you to write components in a more intuitive way without using classes, which makes your code easier to read and maintain. Building on from the previous edition, this book is updated with React Hooks and the latest changes introduced in create-react-app and Spring Boot 2.1. This book starts with a brief introduction to Spring Boot. You’ll understand how to use dependency injection and work with the data access layer of Spring using Hibernate as the ORM tool. You’ll then learn how to build your own RESTful API endpoints for web applications. As you advance, the book introduces you to other Spring components, such as Spring Security to help you secure the backend. Moving on, you’ll explore React and its app development environment and components for building your frontend. Finally, you’ll create a Docker container for your application by implementing the best practices that underpin professional full stack web development. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with all the knowledge you need to build modern full stack applications with Spring Boot for the backend and React for the frontend.

What you will learn

I'm new to Spring, so I was looking for a good introduction. This book doesn't go very deep into the details, but for me it was just the practical intro I hoped to find. Packt is always the first address for me when I need a practical computer book!

I have been a Java developer for years and recently begun learning React. I purchased this book because it mostly was related to what I do at my day job. This book does not go deep into details on things like Java 8 functional programming or deep into React Hooks but covers a ton of useful information. Something I like in addition to the use of Spring Boot 2 and React is that this book also covers some information on testing and security. I feel like many developers focus so much on simply coding but do not learn much security and testing. This book gives you the tools the write full stack applications using test driven development and including security. Again, the book does not go deep into any given details to make someone who finishes it feel like an SME but it is enough to get their feet wet in a breadth of material.

This is an excellent book for an introduction to Spring Boot and React. Of course these are vast frameworks, and no book of this length could hope to cover them completely, but what you do get is a thorough explanation of developing an end-to-end application, from client UI through to back end services. Lots of useful information regarding development tools, and third party libraries. So aside from a couple of technical errors, which were resolved by a bit of Googling, this book gave me exactly what I wanted, and expected.So if you want a good intro to full stack development, this book does a great job, and certainly whets your appetite to learn more.

The book itself is a good intro to React with Spring but the Packt publishing process is simply unacceptable. This is the second recent book from Packt with a defective/unfinished cover where the ink is left exposed. It is so unpleasant that I end up tearing off the cover. Sorry to leave negative review knowing the author went through the hard work of writing a book but I did not see a way to review the Packt physical book quality separate from the written content.
