Reflection

This is a personal project I built to start learning React. During the course of this project, I gained knowledge of creating React components, passing props between the components, and rendering them to the DOM. I also gained familiarity with JavaScript's fetch api and processing the json data returned in the promise.

Currently, the application uses the following technologies: React, HTML, CSS.

The application was originally created using the start-react-app boilerplate to minimize setup time.
