JavaScript Everywhere

Shelley Powers

John Paxton

Why reinvent the wheel every time you run into a problem with JavaScript? This cookbook is chock-full of code recipes that address common programming tasks as well as techniques for building components and apps that work in any browser. This cookbook provides adaptable code samples that you can easily add to almost any project. You'll get the job done faster and learn more about JavaScript in the process. You'll also learn how to take advantage of the latest features in ECMAScript 2015 and beyond, including the new JavaScript data structures, progressive web apps, generator functions, and more. Authors John Paxton, Adam Scott, and Shelley Powers provide recipes to help you use these features to build high-quality application interfaces. Create interactive web and desktop applications Work with JavaScript types, such as strings, numbers, and Booleans Improve your understanding of JavaScript functions, including arrow functions and generators Work with rich media in JavaScript, including audio, video, and SVGs Leverage the latest and greatest JavaScript libraries to rapidly prototype applications Use JavaScript anywhere with Node.js Access and manipulate remote data with REST, GraphQL, and Fetch Fully realize the capabilities of maps, sets, arrays, and iterables Perform asynchronous operations with Promises and async/await

Programming the Web

JavaScript Cookbook

Matthew MacDonald

Why reinvent the wheel every time you run into a problem with JavaScript? This cookbook is chock-full of code recipes for common programming tasks, along with techniques for building apps that work in any browser. You'll get adaptable code samples that you can add to almost any project--and you'll learn more about JavaScript in the process. The recipes in this book take advantage of the latest features in ECMAScript 2020 and beyond and use modern JavaScript coding standards. You'll learn how to: Set up a productive development environment with a code editor, linter, and test server Work with JavaScript data types, such as strings, arrays, and BigInts Improve your understanding of JavaScript functions, including arrow functions, closures, and generators Apply object-oriented programming concepts like classes and inheritance Work with rich media in JavaScript, including audio, video, and SVGs Manipulate HTML markup and CSS styles Use JavaScript anywhere with Node.js Access and manipulate remote data with REST, GraphQL, and Fetch Get started with the popular Express application-building framework Perform asynchronous operations with Promises, async/await, and web workers

JavaScript is the little scripting language that could. Once used chiefly to add interactivity to web browser windows, JavaScript is now a primary building block of powerful and robust applications. In this practical book, new and experienced JavaScript developers will learn how to use this language to create APIs as well as web, mobile, and desktop applications. Author and engineering leader Adam D. Scott covers technologies such as Node.js, GraphQL, React, React Native, and Electron. Ideal for developers who want to build full stack applications and ambitious web development beginners looking to bootstrap a startup, this book shows you how to create a single CRUD-style application that will work across several platforms. Explore GraphQL’s simple process for querying data Learn about shared authentication for APIs, web apps, and native applications Build performant web applications with React and Styled Components Use React Native to write cross-platform applications for iOS and Android that compile to native code Learn how to write desktop applications with Electron
