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.

Exposing the task manager to the frontend

We have implemented the required services for the task manager. Now, we can use the techniques we learned in the previous section, Writing a non-blocking asynchronous endpoint, to expose them to the frontend. Following the same pattern we used for the service implementation, we are going to create three resource controller classes, one for each entity: UserResource, ProjectResource, and TaskResource.

UserResource

This resource will expose the public operations of the UserService class, allowing the HTTP API consumers to perform actions dealing with the users of the task manager. We’ll start by creating a new UserResource class in the com.example.fullstack.user package. The following code snippet contains the relevant part to declare the newly created class and its constructor (you can find the complete code in the GitHub repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Full-Stack-Quarkus-and-React/blob/main/chapter-03/src/main...
