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 and pushing the application into a GitHub repository

If you’ve been following along with this book, by now, you should have a directory in your filesystem that contains the complete application. If this is not the case, you can always download the ZIP file containing the application source code from https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Full-Stack-Development-with-Quarkus-and-React/, and use the code from Chapter 13 as the starting point. In this section, we’ll push the source code to a new GitHub repository.

GitHub user account

This section assumes you already have a GitHub user account. If this is not the case, you can easily create one by following the wizard at https://github.com/signup. The only requirement is having a valid email address.

Let’s start by creating the new repository by clicking on the plus symbol and the New repository menu entry:
