Build rich and collaborative applications using client-side code with React, Redux, and Firebase Key Features 1) A practical guide covering the full stack for web development with React 16 and Firebase 2) Leverage the power of Firebase Cloud Storage, messaging, functions, OAuth, and database security to develop serverless web applications. 3) Develop high-performance applications without the hassle of setting up complex web infrastructure. Book Description ReactJS is a wonderful framework for UI development. Firebase as a backend with React is a great choice as it is easy, powerful, and provides great developer experience. It removes a lot of boilerplate code from your app and allows you to focus on your app to get it out quickly to users. Firebase with React is also a good choice for Most Viable Product (MVP) development. This book provides more practical insights rather than just theoretical concepts and includes basic to advanced examples – from hello world to a real-time seat booking app and Helpdesk application This book will cover the essentials of Firebase and React.js and will take you on a fast-paced journey through building real-time applications with Firebase features such as Cloud Storage, Cloud Function, Hosting and the Realtime Database. We will learn how to secure our application by using Firebase authentication and database security rules. We will leverage the power of Redux to organize data in the front-end, since Redux attempts to make state mutations predictable by imposing certain restrictions on how and when updates can happen. Towards the end of the book you will have improved your React skills by realizing the potential of Firebase to create real-time serverless web applications. What you will learn Install powerful React.js and Firebase tools to make development much more efficient Create React components with Firebase to save and retrieve the data in real-time Use Firebase Authentication to make your React user interface secure Develop React and Firebase applications with Redux integration Firebase database security rules Firebase Cloud Storage Integration to upload and store data on the cloud Create a complete real-time application with React and firebase Using Firebase Cloud messaging and Cloud functions with React Firebase Cloud Storage integration with React Who this book is for This book is for JavaScript developers who have some previous knowledge of React and want to develop serverless, full-stack applications but without the hassle of setting up a complex infrastructure.

htmx is a library that adds logic and server interaction to HTML; you get the effect of using a front-end SPA framework without writing front-end code. Use any server-side programming language and framework to build server applications with endpoints that simply return snippets of HTML. Dynamically update portions of the current web page from HTTP responses. Add interactivity with JavaScript and libraries such Alpine and _hyperscript. Make your apps more secure by escaping user-supplied content and specifying a Content Security Policy. Go beyond basic HTTP requests with WebSockets and server-sent events. The htmx JavaScript library gives you a new way to craft web applications. The htmx approach differs significantly from that of the currently popular single-page application (SPA) frameworks; rather than write a bunch of JavaScript, you simply annotate HTML elements before you send them to the browser. The resulting code is easier to understand and modify, and because it downloads less to the browser and doesn't need JSON creation and parsing, you'll find it performs better, too. Rethink web application design; write code in any language that simply responds to requests with htmx snippets. Dynamically update portions of the current web page directly from the server. Implement common patterns such as lazy loading, input validation, CSS transitions, active search, optimistic updates, pagination, infinite scroll, polling, and click-to-edit. Add interactivity with JavaScript and libraries such as Alpine and _hyperscript. Use the htmx JavaScript API to simplify DOM operations. Make your web apps more secure: escape user-supplied content, use Subresource Integrity hashes, and enforce a Content Security Policy. Go beyond the basic HTTP request/response pattern with WebSockets and server-sent events. Discover a simpler way to implement web applications that emphasizes web fundamentals. What You Need: A modern web browser and the ability to build and run a local HTTP server using the server-side language and framework of your choice. The code examples are fully compatible with htmx 2.0.
