About

This course teaches you to build real-time, full-stack React apps from scratch with a GraphQL Server (Apollo Server 2) on the backend, a cloud MongoDB database (Mongo Atlas) with React Hooks to manage our state (replacing Redux!), social authentication (Google OAuth2), real-time data with GraphQL Subscriptions, image uploads with Cloudinary, and much more.

Our app will be a live Geolocation app called GeoPins where users can pin different locations on the map and share their own content with other users in real time. You'll share pictures and reviews of the location and area, interact with other users by adding comments to your pins, and manage the pins you've created. This course covers:

• How to build a robust GraphQL server with authentication (with Apollo Server 2)

• How to use two GraphQL client libraries in-depth: Apollo Client and GraphQL Request

• Replacing Redux with the useContext and useReducer hooks for global state management

• All major concepts within GraphQL: queries, mutations, subscriptions, typedefs, resolvers, inputs, and more

• All major hooks: useState, useEffect, useContext, and useReducer

• Building custom hooks to hook in to additional functionality in your applications

• Integrating social login (Google OAuth) with Apollo Server 2

• Display app changes in real time with GraphQL subscriptions

• Dynamic image uploads using the Cloudinary API

• MongoDB in the cloud with MongoDB Atlas

• Using Mongoose to create models, CRUD and search operations, and population

• Making attractive apps with the Material UI component library and Material UI Icons

• Use the Material UI useMediaQuery hook for dead-simple mobile/responsive design

• Use the Geolocation API to get users' current location

• Create route guards/protected routes with React Router v4

• Essential authentication/authorization concepts within GraphQL/Apollo

• Error handling on your servers and in your React clients

• Master async/await functions along with tons of ES6/ES7 concepts

• Deploying with Heroku and Now v2
