Product Description \nReact helps you create and work on an app in just a few minutes. But learning how to put all the pieces together is hard. How do you validate a form? Or implement a complex multistep user action without writing messy code? How do you test your code? Make it reusable? Wire it to a backend? Keep it easy to understand? The React Cookbook delivers answers fast. 
Many books teach you how to get started, understand the framework, or use a component library with React, but very few provide examples to help you solve particular problems. This easy-to-use cookbook includes the example code developers need to unravel the most common problems when using React, categorized by topic area and problem. 
You'll learn how to:\nBuild a single-page application in React using a rich UI 
Create progressive web applications that users can install and work with offline 
Integrate with backend services such as REST and GraphQL 
Automatically test for accessibility problems in your application 
Secure applications with fingerprints and security tokens using WebAuthn 
Deal with bugs and avoid common functional and performance problems\nAbout the Author \nDavid Griffiths has been writing code professionally in React for five years, and has created applications for startups, retail stores, vehicle manufacturers, national sports bodies and large software vendors. He has over 10 years experience in writing JavaScript. 
Together, David and Dawn have written several books in the Head First Series, including Head First Android Development and Head First Kotlin, and delivered video courses for O’Reilly Media. They are the best people to write this book because they have an in-depth knowledge of the technology, and the experience to explain it concisely and clearly to the reader.\nDawn Griffiths has over 20 years experience working in the IT industry, working as a senior developer and senior software architect.
