Commentary

I was able to implement all of the requirements here Holidog Full Stack Challenge. The api endpoints all work >perfectly. I was also able to implement the bonus api endpoints (i.e. for PUT requests). i Wasn't able to write tests in time.

Problems (Bugs, Errors and Warnings)

• There is an "Unhandled Promise Rejection" Warning. It doesn't seem to have any noticeable effect on performance. (<--> This is probably because of the lack of catch clauses in my requests and promises)
• There is no error component so if you type a random component like '/test' it won't take you to an error page. It just won't load any information beyond the standard App.js component
