Graham's React Playground

Technologies Used:

• Axios: uses HTTP methods to communicate with database - much lighter weight than jQuery when we just need HTTP methods.
• Express: provides a framework to set up our Node.js server.
• Body Parser: parses the incoming requests bodies for the info we are sending.
• Foreman: allows us to boot up our API and webpack-dev-server simultaneously.
• Nodemon: restarts server when files are saved with changes.
• Marked: converts markdown syntax to html.
• Mongoose: abstracts away the MongoDB boilerplate for a simple Schema solution.

Experiments

• I'll be using module inline styles (i.e. import style from ‘./style’; and style={style.uniqueName}), so we'll see how that goes.
