Integrating Front end Components with Node.js Web Applications

Integrating Front end Components with Node.js Web Applications

Learn how to implement Bootstrap, tagging, autosuggest, spinners, date pickers, AJAX file uploaders and more in Node.js web applications

About the Book

Over the past few years of building web applications I have gathered a list of tools and frameworks that assist in building interfaces that improve the usability and the visual appeal of web applications. This book will guide you through installation, usage and customization of these front end libraries, frameworks and components. 

Such common problems as integrating Bootstrap, Tagging, Notifications, Spinners, AJAX login and registration, AJAX contact forms, AJAX file uploads & Avatar Cropping, Date Pickers and more are discussed in the book. Besides integration of frontend components optimization is also discussed.

Chapter by chapter, you will be introduced to various concepts of using front end libraries to make your applications look better and be more useful for the end user.

When you reach the last page of the book you will be able to integrate over a dozen of front end components and frameworks in your applications and make your users happy.
