Grails and React

Whether your team has an existing Grails® app that needs a new UI or you're designing a brand new microservice architecture with these frameworks, this 6-hour workshop will prepare you to seamlessly integrate the React JavaScript library into your Grails applications.

Overview

This workshop introduces several approaches to using the React JavaScript library with Grails projects.

Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the following topics through lectures, real-world examples, and hands-on practice:

  • What React is and how to get the most out of it
  • Approaches to using front-end frameworks
  • Building single page applications (SPAs) with the Grails framework and React

While we will focus on React in this course, many of the techniques are applicable to other modern JavaScript frameworks as well.
