Full Stack Quarkus and React

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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to implement a security layer in Quarkus using JWT. We learned how to generate and configure private and public key files to sign and verify JWTs. Then, we implemented an authentication service to generate and sign JWTs. We also refactored some of the user-related services and provided functionality for users to change their passwords. We also learned how to use annotations to restrict access to the HTTP API.

You should now be able to secure your Quarkus application by using its JWT extensions and provide role-based access control to specific areas of your application. In the next chapter, we’ll provide an introduction and overview of how to test Quarkus applications. We’ll also implement integration tests to verify the exposed application functionality.
