Happy Thoughts

In this week's project, I practiced React state skills by fetching and posting data to an API. It included the useState and useEffect.

We've built a simple API to collect 'happy thoughts'in a Twitter-like web app.

You can take a look at the web page here: https://ninamansster-happy-thoughts.netlify.com/

I have learned: 🧠

• How to use APIs in React, firing requests within useEffect.
• How to put the result of API responses into React state to show in the page.
• What it's like to work with an API which you both send and receive data from.
