### The newline Guide to Full Stack Comments with Hasura and React

Build and implement a comprehensive commenting system for your website using Hasura and React.  We’ll use the commenting feature to teach technology concepts like Hasura with appropriate authorization, optimistic updates for a more responsive UI, pagination, and publication of library in NPM.

### Why this course

Many developers would like to add a comments section to their website or blog for users to post comments or hold discussions. While it's possible to use existing hosted solutions such as Disqus or Facebook Comments, they often charge a fee and impose their UI leaving little to no control for modifications or customization. 

Another option is to build your own from scratch — which is what we'll do in this course. We’ll use Hasura, which generates GraphQL API from a database so that the backend part is as easy and the least time-consuming as possible. Along the way, we’re going to learn about databases, GraphQL, building UI components with React and TypeScript, and more.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a commenting system added to a website we’ve called, Why comments?, with all comments stored by Hasura. We'll also publish the fetching and adding comments logic as a library to NPM.

This course focuses on building a commenting widget, however, the skills you’ll acquire will allow you to build any fullstack widget you can think up for your application.  You’ll be able to contribute to fullstack React, GraphQL, and Hasura projects at work, in open source, or your own projects. You'll discover that this stack not only eliminates the need for having large teams of backend developers, but it lets your projects move faster.

### Your Instructors

Hi, I'm Aleksandra, and I'm your instructor for this course. I’m the former tech lead of Hasura console and lead maintainer of Bliz.js. This course combines my knowledge in a few areas such as TypeScript, React, Hasura, GraphQL, and general application development.

Congratulations, and thank you for completing the course! By now, you have a
working commenting system that you can reuse on any website.

Let's list down the major things that you learned during the course:

-   [GraphQL](https://graphql.org/) — we covered the basics of GraphQL, and we
    wrote a few queries and mutations. We also saw how to send GraphQL requests
    from the client and how to handle the responses.
-   [Hasura](https://hasura.io/) — we learned how to set up a new Hasura instance,
    create tables, configure permissions, and set up unauthorized access.
-   [Custom React hooks](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-custom.html) — we wrote a
    custom hook and used it in a component. We also covered how to test it.
-   [Mock Service Worker](https://mswjs.io/) — we learned how to mock GraphQL
    requests for the tests using MSW. This way, when running the tests, we don't
    have to make actual API calls that would edit the database, but we can keep
    everything locally.
-   [Publishing a library to NPM](npmjs.com) — we saw how to bundle our code, set
    up the project before publishing it to NPM, and use the command line to
    publish the library.

We just completed the course! Let's see what's next and how you can use the new knowledge.
