Learn Nginx, React-storybook and Screen-reader

A large number of people are unable to use the web effectively due to an impairment or disability.

As developers there are several tools and techniques we can use to make our web applications accessible, ensuring a great user experience that includes everyone.

We all agree that Accessibility is important. However, it’s a broad landscape and can be overwhelming figuring out where to start!

Erin Doyle is an expert in creating accessible React applications and has developed a course that will give you a concrete process for testing, refactoring, and building your applications with accessibility in mind.

After this course, you'll have a jump start on auditing and fixing accessibility issues in your applications and gain a better understanding of your target users and how to approach your web app design from their perspectives.


React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

Whether you’re a React newbie or you’re ready for advanced techniques, you can level-up with egghead. Explore our in-depth courses, lessons, and community resources to build more powerful applications and crack open your career.

Develop Accessible Web Apps with React

In this lesson, we show how to setup React Storybook into an existing React project. We’ll go through common configuration files and how to adjust them.

Add React Storybook to a Project 

Components trigger actions via function props to notify of events that occur within the Component. We can inspect those events using React Storybook.

screen-reader

There are many techniques for hiding content in user interfaces, and not all are created equal! Learn how different hiding techniques in HTML, CSS and ARIA impact keyboard and screen reader users in addition to visual display. As a bonus, we'll also take a look using a screen reader on a mobile device.

How Visible vs. Hidden Elements Affect Keyboard/Screen Reader Users

NGINX is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server and reverse proxy, as well as an IMAP/POP3 proxy server.

Learn about the concepts of managing data within Docker volumes, including all of the commands to create and manage volumes. We'll demonstrate how to mount a Docker volume to one or many containers by creating and mounting a volume to an Nginx proxy, and then verify the output with curl. You'll also see how changes to files within volumes of one container propagate to other containers with the same volume mounted, and learn various commands to inspect Docker volumes.

[React Storybook](https://github.com/kadirahq/react-storybook) is a UI component development environment for React.
With that, you can develop UI components without running your app.

Here I show how to get started with React Storybook.
For more information, have a look at our [documentation](https://getstorybook.io/docs).

Getting Started with React Storybook

React Component stories can be dynamically loaded into React Storybook instead of doing it manually every time.

Load React Storybook Stories Dynamically

Learn how to setup an Nginx proxy server with Docker that sits in front of a Node.js app. You can use a proxy to control the flow of frontend requests hitting your app, as well as to achieve better performance and scalability. We'll create a sample Node.js app, configure a default Nginx configuration file for proxying web requests, build both Node.js and Nginx Docker images, and learn how to link everything up and get it running with Docker specifics.

Setup an Nginx Proxy for a Node.js App with Docker

Story is the smallest unit of React Storybook. A story describes a React Component, and its various states and variations. Stories can describe complex components with dynamic properties and data loaded from a service. In this lesson we will write our first React Storybook story.

Write the First React Storybook Story

React Storybook allows for easy snapshot testing integration with Facebook's Jest testing framework. Snapshot testing allows you to capture the state of your UI and then notify you when that UI has been altered. We can easily create and update snapshots with Storybook!

Node.js apps built with Docker cannot scale horizontally by themselves. In this lesson we will spawn out multiple Node.js processes/containers, and move the incoming request handler to an Nginx proxy to load balance and properly scale our Node.js app.

Scale Docker Horizontally with Nginx Load Balancing

Storybook is a UI component development environment for React, Vue, and Angular. With that, you can develop UI components without running your app.

Here I show how to set up Storybook to display React components from scratch.

Vue (pronounced /vjuː/, like view) is a progressive framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other monolithic frameworks, Vue is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable. The core library is focused on the view layer only, and is very easy to pick up and integrate with other libraries or existing projects. On the other hand, Vue is also perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications when used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries.

In this lesson we'll go through the process of setting up Storybook for Vue. We'll use Vue CLI to create a new Vue application and Storybook CLI to setup some initial stories and config. Storybook can help you develop UI components in an isolated area without running your full application.

 Getting Started With Storybook for Vue

Storybook is a UI component development environment for React, Vue, and Angular. With that, you can develop UI components without running your app.

Here I show the best configuration for React Storybook, and walk through adding your very first React Component and Story to your Storybook.

Add your first React Story to Storybook

Storybook is a UI component development environment for React, Vue, and Angular. With that, you can develop UI components without running your app.

Here I show how to add a landing/welcome page to your Storybook, so that first-time viewers get to read a message from you or have some orientation around the structure of the Storybook you are building. We also introduce the idea of sequential additions to your Storybook config so you can get a sense of how to modify it for your own needs.

Add a Welcome Page with Sequential Stories to a React Storybook

Storybook is a UI component development environment for React, Vue, and Angular. With that, you can develop UI components without running your app.

Storybook has a rich Addons ecosystem that really adds a lot to the developer experience. Here I show how to set up the JSX Addon in Storybook to display the code behind React components. The juxtaposition of code and visual display can be very effective documentation for any users of your components.

In this course, we will learn how to set up all the necessary infrastructure to build a Design System of reusable React components, with state of the art developer experience enabled by Typescript and Storybook.

A design system is a series of components that can be reused in different combinations. Design systems allow you to manage design at scale. Head to designsystemsrepo.com and you can see Design Systems used by some of the biggest companies and strongest brands from Priceline, Apple, IBM, Wework, Github, and even the US Government. Design Systems can be a significant productivity multiplier in any medium-to-large project or company because you can document your components as you develop them, ensure a consistent look and feel throughout all your screens, and have a seamless workflow between designers and developers.
