How to Create a Job Board Website With React and Strapi
In this tutorial, we built a complete job board website using Strapi as our backend API server and React as our frontend framework. We covered the following topics: 1. Introduction to Strapi: We explained what Strapi is, its features, and how it can be used to build APIs for web applications. 2. Setting up Strapi: We installed Strapi on a local development environment using Docker and created a new project with default settings. 3. Creating content types in Strapi: We created two content types (Jobs and Applicants) that will be used to store job postings and candidate profiles, respectively. 4. Building the frontend application with React: We installed Node.js and npm on our development environment, then set up a new React project using create-react-app. 5. Creating components for the frontend application: We created various components such as Header, Footer, JobList, JobDetails, Apply, Login, and Dashboard to handle different sections of the job board website. 6. Connecting the frontend application with Strapi API: We used fetch() requests in our React components to send data back and forth between the frontend and backend applications. 7. Testing and deploying the job board application: We tested the functionality of the job board website by adding some open jobs, creating a candidate profile, and submitting an application for one of the jobs. Finally, we explained how to deploy the Strapi backend API server using Heroku and the React frontend application using GitHub Pages or any other hosting platform. By following this tutorial, you should now have a good understanding of how to use Strapi with React to build complete web applications quickly and efficiently.
