• Start both the client and server dev. processes: npm run dev

Finally, navigate to http://localhost:8000

Deliverables

Links to both the NodeJS Server repo, and the React App repo.

• The NodeJS Server should:
  • Consume and store the feed data from the feeds above, in a database.
  • Contain endpoints that allowing the React app to consume data from the database.
  • Be simple and straightforward to run. Think yarn start or npm start.
• The React app should:
  • Consume the NodeJS API, and will feed data into the components.
  • Also, be simple and straighforward to get running.

Possible improvements and optimizations

Here are some improvements that could be made:

• A testing suite, such as Jest, could be used
• A production build of webpack could be generated (compressed and uglified)
• Typechecking could be used ie. React PropTypes
• Another database could be used for caching data (ie. Redis)
