This project was bootstrapped with Create React App, and uses React Bootstrap for a quick base set of styles and components.
This project is intended to help newcomers to React in learning how to implement some of the more common patterns used with component-based development. It's also intended to help those that have been working with the library for a while, but have perhaps never gotten deeper than basic components. It will teach you strategies for wrapping general imperative-style APIs as declarative components, applying transformations to existing components, certain optimizations to help improve application performance, the basics of hooking an application up to Redux for global state management, and some of the basics of testing React applications with Jest, Enzyme, and Cypress.
