Build a Frontend Web Framework
Learn how a frontend web framework works by coding your own!
In Build a Frontend Web Framework (From Scratch) , you’ll learn the secrets behind frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular,
Frontend frameworks are essential for creating websites, UIs, and intuitive apps. While it’s tempting to treat a framework like a black box, they’re not magic. Build a Frontend Web Framework (From Scratch) shows you how to build your own framework from basic JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Once you learn how frameworks function, you’ll be able to work with them more efficiently, troubleshoot bugs more effectively, and even customize them for your specific needs.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
About the technology
Frontend web frameworks like React, Vue, or Svelte are an essential part of almost any web application stack. They’re responsible for what your users see on their screens, and they are the first step in ensuring that your product delivers an exceptional user experience. In this step-by-step guide, expert full-stack web developer Angel Sola Orbaiceta shares a big understanding how these tools work under the hood will make you a better web developer.
About the book
In Build a Frontend Web Framework (From Scratch) , you’ll create a complete frontend framework and share it with the world as an NPM package. You’ll start by writing a to-do list application in pure JavaScript to expose the pain points a frontend framework solves. Then, just three chapters later, you’ll have a basic working framework, built from scratch!
From there, you’ll iterate and add new features, implement a pipeline that transforms HTML templates into JavaScript render functions, add reconciliation algorithms, develop a SPA router that changes the content of the page without reloading, and more. All concepts are broken down into easy-to-digest chunks and explained with engaging graphics. By the time you’re done reading and coding, you’ll have a framework you can both use in your own projects and share with the world!
About the reader
For web developers familiar with JavaScript and NodeJS.

February 10, 2024This world does not need another Frontend framework, however I am so happy that there is finally a book that delves into the principles of how JavaScript frameworks work (and not just how to use them).
Super excited for this book to come out & I hope I can get my hands on it this year.

While there are so many JS frameworks out there there is only book that explains how all of them work on the inside and this is *the* book. Not only I have learnt how to Angular or React (just too mention a couple) work but also built their core components myself. The way Angel explains complex stuff like reconciliation and how one chapter by chapter add more capabilities or improve others.
Building a framework from scratch takes time and mainstream ones take years or development and the effort from entire open source development communities. With this book you will have the knowledge need to collaborate on the improvement of any frameworks as they mostly use the same principles that you learn in this book.
There are exercises and has plenty of reference in each topic to an explanation of the inner workings of mainstream frameworks which is very useful as one can use it as a reference in the future.
Definitely a great addition to my library and great knowledge.
