Building Web Applications with React 18

Course 2316

  • Duration: 4 days
  • Labs: Yes
  • Language: English
  • Level: Intermediate

This Building Web Applications with React 18 Training gives you the tools to build client-side applications using React 18 to create high-performance apps running both in the browser and as native mobile applications. The course uses Hooks in React 18 to simplify coding and improve performance while leveraging Typescript and the Redux Toolkit to improve productivity in creating complex applications. The full development process is covered, beginning with creating the application project, architecting the solution, integrating automated testing (using the React Testing Library for both unit and end-to-end testing), and finishing with deploying the application.

React Training Course Information

In this Redux Toolkit training, you will learn the following:

  • Create web and mobile applications with the most popular client-side framework.
  • Build complex applications with multiple screens and components.
  • Read, update, add, and delete server-side data using Ajax calls.
  • Architect client-side applications with UIs that dynamically respond to changes in the data.
  • End-to-End testing by simulating user interactions.

React Training Course Prerequisites

Before attending this course, attendees should have knowledge at the level of Course 2319, JavaScript Essentials for Web Development.

  • Creating routes with multiple parameters

Manipulating form input components

  • Working with interactive properties
  • Capturing form component updates with onChange
  • Exploiting controlled components with one-way dataflow

Implementing data and event binding

  • Applying the onChange / useState() convention
  • Reducing onChange clutter for cleaner code
  • Integrating functions with form events

Ensuring quality with automated testing

  • Unit testing with Jest

  • Improving testing syntax with Testing Library

Global State and Redux

  • Architecting loosely-coupled applications for extensibility
  • Managing state centrally

Coding a loosely coupled application

  • Creating the central store
  • Understanding React’s one-way data flow at the application level
  • Segmenting the store with slicers

Managing application-wide data

Creating UIs in Reactive Native

  • Fundamental building blocks: View, Stylesheet, Text, Pressable
  • More advanced components: Flatlist, Picker, Switch

Accepting Input

  • Integrating TextInput with change and value events
  • Simplifying the input process

Navigation in React Native

React Training FAQs

This course uses React version 18, which will benefit any attendee using version 16 or later.

If you’re on version 16 or earlier, we recommend that you take our Course 2322, Building Web Applications with React 16.

Due to licensing restrictions, the exercises students deploy are on an Android platform. However, deploying to iOS devices is covered, and students using the MacIntosh platform can download the final app to their computers and generate an iOS-compatible app. We will cover how to create apps that run on Web browsers, on any device and how to create apps that run with native controls on Android and iOS devices. The course will also show to create an application that leverages Android and iOS-specific features (and how to ensure that the correct code will deploy to the suitable device).
