Maintainable React

Test-Driven Development, Refactoring and Clean Code.

About the Book

We all know the most significant coding efforts in any real-life project are not about writing new code but maintaining the existing one. And a considerable part of our time is spent trying to understand the legacy code.

In this book, I'm trying to put together common patterns I found in many React projects I've worked on: what worked well and what didn't, the symptoms of issues and how to get rid of them with proven techniques.

I hope it can help you cope with your project's challenges, save time writing new features, and improve the code base with each commit.

Juntao Qiu

Hi, I'm Juntao, and I help developers write better code through clear, practical guidance.

I am deeply committed to contributing to both the online and offline developer communities, sharing insights and knowledge gleaned from my experiences in various projects. Among my contributions are several publications focused on Web Development. Notably, my latest works include "React Anti-Patterns" (2024), "Test-Driven Development with React (2nd)" (2023) and "Maintainable React" (2022).

Additionally, I host a YouTube channel (@icodeit.juntao), where I delve into Clean Code practices and Refactoring techniques, aiming to assist developers in honing their coding skills.
