Creating the project
In this section, we will start by creating the project for the app we will build. We will then create a REST API for the app to consume.
Setting up the project
We will develop the app using Visual Studio Code and require a new Create React App-based project setup. We’ve previously covered this several times, so we will not cover the steps in this chapter – instead, see Chapter 3, Setting Up React and TypeScript.
