In this course we teach you how to create admin reports with React using a query builder. Admin reporting is a broad topic, and getting started can be overwhelming.

In five modules, we cover configuration of the query builder, setting up a server, displaying data in a grid, chart, and map, as well as some more advanced uses of the query builder. It's about three hours long and comes with code samples.

The course is taught by Jake Boone, who uses React Query Builder in real, mission-critical applications for a large engineering and construction firm.

In this course, we'll be using React Query Builder to create admin reports with complex filtering, bulk editing, data grids, charts, and maps.

. In this course, we will primarily be exploring the use of a query builder.

A query builder is a component that facilitates the visual description of queries or filters using rules (aka conditions). The most common use case for a query builder is to work as a user-friendly frontend for a database backend, but it has other uses as well.

This course will guide students through the creation of a simple query builder application using the 

 library. The application will connect to a custom API with an SQL database backend.

Students will learn the basic configuration of the library as well as advanced customization and feature addition.

Let's take a look at the application that we will be building. You can see the query builder at the top, with the ability to add rules and groups of rules, plus a data table at the bottom with the results of the query and a line graph with summary information.

# Introduction to React Query Builder

Welcome to the newline course **Building Advanced Admin Reporting in React**. In this course, we will primarily be exploring the use of a query builder.

A query builder is a component that facilitates the visual description of queries or filters using rules (aka conditions). The most common use case for a query builder is to work as a user-friendly frontend for a database backend, but it has other uses as well.

This course will guide students through the creation of a simple query builder application using the [React Query Builder](https://github.com/react-querybuilder/react-querybuilder) library. The application will connect to a custom API with an SQL database backend.

Students will learn the basic configuration of the library as well as advanced customization and feature addition.

To get started with the course, students will need to know the basics of using [`npm`](https://www.npmjs.com/) to configure and develop JavaScript/[TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) applications, and have some basic [Git](https://git-scm.com/) and SQL knowledge. We will be using a [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) database for the back end and [ReactJS](https://reactjs.org/) for the front end.

Let's take a look at the application that we will be building. You can see the query builder at the top, with the ability to add rules and groups of rules, plus a data table at the bottom with the results of the query and a line graph with summary information.
