State machines are an old concept. They are a proven solution that provides a solid architectural foundation for application processes. In this article, I hope to provide an introduction to what they are and how they can be useful for a modern web or mobile application engineer. We’ll be focusing on one library in particular – xstate – and how it can allow anyone to easily leverage state machines for managing global or component state.
Weโve all seen and read the React tutorials. We know about classes and components and JSX and whatnot, but then there comes the time when you have to start doing things for real. โRealโ you say? Yes. Like connecting to a database or navigating around something larger than โHello World.โ Oh, then there’s that dreaded state thing. Well, letโs have a quick talk about the โExtrasโ that we can add into a React application.
In this blog, we will address adding routing using the React Router, adding data access using the JavaScript Fetch API, and creating a global state management feature using Reactโs built-in Context API.
Let us present this scenario. Youโre building a React application, and youโve been tasked to build a registration form. Seems simple enough, you think at first, but then you start hearing the requirements. The application needs to have validation on each field, and each field needs to have certain requirements, such as being required, being a certain type of field, having a certain length, etc. Your form must also be easily created and have an easily adjusted state during its usage. At this point, something you originally thought would be quick and easy is seeming more and more time consuming and complicated!ย
Well, worry no more and look no further; the community has come to your rescue. In this post, weโre going to talk about using the form library called Formik and the validation library called Yup to build out a simple validation form inside of a ReactJS application.
Both React and Angular are very popular front end development frameworks. In this post, I will discuss the similarities and differences between the two, and consider when one should be used instead of the other.
React is an open-source JavaScript library introduced by Facebook to build dynamic user interfaces. It is based on JavaScript and JSX (a PHP extension) and is considered widely for developing reusable HTML elements for front-end development.
Angular is an open-source front-end development framework powered by Google. It is a part of the MEAN stack and is compatible with a large number of code editors and is considered for creating dynamic websites and web apps.
In this post, we will begin by going over the benefits of React and Angular, then break down the differences between the two frameworks using thirteen attributes. By comparing each framework side by side, it can help decide which is the best framework for your specific app project.
So you have mastered Spring Boot and started toying around with React. Now you want React to talk to your Boot app as your back-end API. Thatโs fabulous. You probably already know how to do this, but there is a kicker. You want to package them and start both of them as just one project.
Well, youโre in luck! This blog is going to take a couple of simple projects and combine them into one project. Lace up your boots and get ready to React!
