MERN Stack: Part I

Abstract

In the previous chapter, you learned about state management and Facebook’s Flux state management architecture. You learned about the most popular state management tools to date: vanilla Redux and Redux Toolkit. In this chapter, we will implement a login with an exclusive private member area using Recoil and the Mongo-Express-React-Node.js (MERN) stack. Specifically, we will be using React with Recoil to share the state across different components as the view layer and middleware. In the next chapter, we will implement Node.js, Express, and MongoDB as the back end.
