It helps to have some familiarity with React, but if you are an experienced web developer looking at React, then this book will show you how to build a resilient toolset around you before you begin. What You Will Learn ? Bootstrap a React application using create-react-app ? Isolate React component development using Storybook ? Write effective unit tests for your React components using Jest ? Ensure that your component code is to standard using ESLint ? Use browser extensions and built-in component instrumentation to debug React applications ? Enable type safety in React components with Flowtype ? Deploy React applications inside a Docker container as part of a larger application stack In Detail React 16 Tooling covers the most important tools, utilities, and libraries that every React developer needs to know - in detail. As React has grown, the amazing toolset around it has also grown, adding features and enhancing the development workflow. Each of these essential tools is presented in a practical manner and in a logical order mirroring the development workflow. These tools will make your development life simpler and happier, enabling you to create better and more performant apps. Adam starts with a hand-picked selection of the best tools for the React 16 ecosystem. For starters, there's the create-react-app utility that's officially supported by the React team. Not only does this tool bootstrap your React project for you, it also provides a consistent and stable framework to build upon. The premise is that when you don't have to think about meta development work, more focus goes into the product itself. Other React tools follow this same approach to automating and improving your development life. Jest makes unit testing quicker. Flow makes catching errors easier. Docker containers make deployment in a stack simpler. Storybook makes developing components straightforward. ESLint makes writing standardized code faster. The React DevTools plugin makes debugging a cinch. React 16 Tooling clears away the barriers so you can focus on developing the good parts. In this book, we'll look at each of these powerful tools in detail, showing you how to build the perfect React ecosystem to develop your apps within. Style and approach This book covers React tools that help developers with the most relevant challenges they face today. Each chapter begins by defining the challenge faced by developers and why the tool is required, then shows how to fix the problem using React tooling.

Define how your application fits together, using internal and external services ? Add feedback to your code to help Kubernetes manage your services ? Monitor and measure your services through integration testing and in production deployments In Detail Kubernetes is documented and typically approached from the perspective of someone running software that has already been built. Kubernetes may also be used to enhance the development process, enabling more consistent testing and analysis of code to help developers verify not only its correctness, but also its efficiency. This book introduces key Kubernetes concepts, coupled with examples of how to deploy and use them with a bit of Node.js and Python example code, so that you can quickly replicate and use that knowledge. You will begin by setting up Kubernetes to help you develop and package your code. We walk you through the setup and installation process before working with Kubernetes in the development environment. We then delve into concepts such as automating your build process, autonomic computing, debugging, and integration testing. This book covers all the concepts required for a developer to work with Kubernetes. By the end of this book, you will be in a position to use Kubernetes in development ecosystems. Style and approach This book will cover examples using NodeJS and Python that walk you through building containers, defining your deployments, deploying, debugging, testing, and generally interacting with your code running on Kubernetes.
