React в действии

by Mark Tielens Thomas, Томас Марк Тиленс

Книга «React в действии» знакомит фронтенд-разработчиков с фреймворком React и смежными инструментами. Сначала вы познакомитесь с библиотекой React, затем освежите материал о некоторых фундаментальных идеях в данном контексте и узнаете о работе с компонентами. Вы на практике освоите чистый React (без транспиляции, без синтаксических помощников), перейдете от простейших статических компонентов к динамическим и интерактивным.

Во второй половине книги рассмотрены различные способы взаимодействия с React. Вы изучите базовые методы жизненного цикла, научитесь создавать поток данных, формы, а также тестировать приложения. На закуску вас ждет материал об архитектуре React-приложения, взаимодействии с Redux, экскурс в серверный рендеринг и обзор React Native.

5 star rating, because you can read this book and just this book and start building a mid-level react application from scratch. It actually provides all you need to start with. Very comprehensive, easy reading and interestingly easy to follow. It contains many challenges ( maybe small projects ) that evaluate your findings through out the book.

At this point, this book is pretty far out of date. It doesn't cover hooks at any point, which is the main casualty of the publish date. The book is so old at this point that the demo website doesn't even work any longer; the code may work, but the code-base is so large that it's overwhelming and I found that I had zero interest in pulling it down.
The examples would have been far better suited as small, self-contained demonstrations instead of trying to connect to a larger website. At the very least they could have been integrated better. Pages of the book were dedicated entirely to examples which were nearly carbon copies of previous examples.

If you're going to learn React, I'd recommend just reading the React Documentation. It reads easier than you'd think and is much more beginner-friendly.

I wrote this, so I'm a bit biased ;)

Definitely not a book for beginners. Very theoretical, project used as an example is very complex, difficult to follow in some places, would be much better to have simpler samples and then case study at the end as summary.

Book is filled with great insights about React but I would have loved it even more if it followed the writing style of ROBIN WIERUCH.
Sometimes it's really hard to follow the code.
Too much emphasis on theory so it does feel dull and boring at a time.
Definitely worth a read.

It is outdated and the example project doesn't work because dependencies are too old or it is not worth make it working. It is bettere reading React documentation.
However, I liked the approach of "reinventing the wheel" to understand how stuff works under the hood. It lacks of modern concepts but it is good to practice basic concepts of components, props and state.
