# Full-Stack Web Development Guide
## Technologies
For a modern full-stack web application, we'll use:
- Frontend: React, TypeScript, CSS-in-JS
- Backend: Node.js, Express
- Database: MongoDB
- API: GraphQL
- Deployment: Docker, Kubernetes
## Implementation Steps
1. Set up the development environment
2. Create the backend API
3. Design the database schema
4. Implement the frontend UI
5. Connect frontend and backend
6. Add authentication
7. Optimize for performance
8. Deploy the application
## Backend Implementation
```typescript
// app.ts
import express from 'express';
import { ApolloServer } from 'apollo-server-express';
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
import { typeDefs } from './schema';
import { resolvers } from './resolvers';
const app = express();
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/myapp');
const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, resolvers });
server.applyMiddleware({ app });
app.listen({ port: 4000 }, () =>
console.log(`Server ready at http://localhost:4000${server.graphqlPath}`)
);
```
## Frontend Implementation
```typescript
// App.tsx
import React from 'react';
import { ApolloProvider } from '@apollo/client';
import { client } from './apollo-client';
import { BrowserRouter, Route, Switch } from 'react-router-dom';
import { Home } from './components/Home';
import { Login } from './components/Login';
export const App: React.FC = () => (
<ApolloProvider client={client}>
<BrowserRouter>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
<Route path="/login" component={Login} />
</Switch>
</BrowserRouter>
</ApolloProvider>
);
```
## Best Practices
- Use TypeScript for type safety
- Implement proper error handling
- Write unit and integration tests
- Use environment variables for configuration
- Follow security best practices (HTTPS, input validation, etc.)
## Performance Optimization
- Implement code splitting and lazy loading
- Use server-side rendering for initial load
- Optimize database queries
- Utilize caching (Redis, CDN)
- Minify and compress assets
## Security Considerations
- Implement proper authentication and authorization
- Use HTTPS everywhere
- Sanitize user inputs
- Keep dependencies up-to-date
- Implement rate limiting and CORS
