How to integrate FaunaDB in React apps with Material UI
Blog post from LogRocket
Building a single page application (SPA) using React can be enhanced by integrating FaunaDB, a database as a service (DBaaS) that allows developers to streamline web application development without the need for a custom API server. This tutorial guides users through setting up a React app with FaunaDB, highlighting its transaction support, scalability, and ease of use, particularly its compatibility with React's modular architecture. The process includes creating a new FaunaDB account, setting up a database instance, generating access keys, and establishing a secure connection with environment variables. The tutorial further demonstrates how to create, display, and delete items from a FaunaDB collection through API queries integrated with React components. It utilizes the Material UI library for a minimalist user interface, applying layout and styling principles for responsive design. The guide concludes with deploying CRUD operations in the app and considering real-time updates with FaunaDB subscriptions to enhance functionality.
