Frameworkless Front-End Development

Do You Control Your Dependencies or are They Controlling You?

Explore an alternative method of front-end application development without using frameworks or third-party libraries. This updated book provides you with the required skills and freedom to consider a “no framework” approach when choosing a technology for creating a new project. New topics covered include a brief history of JavaScript frameworks and their key developments, how to protect domain code, and how to work with frameworkless in legacy applications.

You’ll work through the most important issues in a clear and sensible way, using practical methods and tools to gain an understanding of non-functional requirements. This book answers questions on important topics such as state management, making a routing system, creating a REST client using fetch, and reveals the trade-offs and risks associated with choosing the wrong framework or tool for your project, as well as provides sustainability, and functional alternatives.

Frameworkless Front-End Development breaksdown the concept of technical debt and the ways in which a framework can impact the lifespan of a project. Along with gaining a comprehensive and clear guide on coding effectively from scratch without frameworks, you will also learn some principles of technical decision-making.
