Full Stack Quarkus and React

By: Marc Nuri San Felix

Overview of this book

React has established itself as one of the most popular and widely adopted frameworks thanks to its simple yet scalable app development abilities. Quarkus comes across as a fantastic alternative for backend development by boosting developer productivity with features such as pre-built integrations, application services, and more that bring a new, revolutionary developer experience to Java. To make the best use of both, this hands-on guide will help you get started with Quarkus and React to create and deploy an end-to-end web application. This book is divided into three parts. In the first part, you’ll begin with an introduction to Quarkus and its features, learning how to bootstrap a Quarkus project from the ground up to create a tested and secure HTTP server for your backend. The second part focuses on the frontend, showing you how to create a React project from scratch to build the application’s user interface and integrate it with the Quarkus backend. The last part guides you through creating cluster configuration manifests and deploying them to Kubernetes as well as other alternatives, such as Fly.io. By the end of this full stack development book, you’ll be confident in your skills to combine the robustness of both frameworks to create and deploy standalone, fully functional web applications.

Creating the Login Page

In this chapter, we’ll implement the authorization infrastructure for the frontend side of our task manager application, and create login and user management pages to test it. We’ll start by configuring both Quarkus and React to be able to consume the secured HTTP APIs in development mode. Then, we’ll learn how to use Redux Toolkit to manage the frontend session, and create a login page to be able to initiate a new one. Finally, we’ll create a protected user management page, and run the application to verify that everything works as expected.

By the end of this chapter, you should be able to use Redux Toolkit to implement the authentication and authorization infrastructure for React applications to be able to consume secure HTTP APIs based on JWT.

We will be covering the following topics in this chapter:

  • Setting up the authentication workflow
  • Creating the Login page
  • Adding a protected user management page
  • ...
