Cedar with React

[kpermenter]

I'm trying to render a Cedar chart as a React component and am a bit lost. I'm using create-react-app and have installed @esri/cedar and the mentioned dependencies.

Is there anyway you could give a simple example of how to convert a basic Cedar chart like the one below into a React component?

{
  "type": "bar",
  "datasets": [
    {
      "url": "https://services.arcgis.com/uDTUpUPbk8X8mXwl/arcgis/rest/services/Public_Schools_in_Onondaga_County/FeatureServer/0",
      "name": "Number_of_SUM",
      "query": {
        "orderByFields": "Number_of_SUM DESC",
        "groupByFieldsForStatistics": "Type",
        "outStatistics": [
          {
            "statisticType": "sum",
            "onStatisticField": "Number_of",
            "outStatisticFieldName": "Number_of_SUM"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ],
  "series": [
    {
      "category": {"field": "Type", "label": "Type"},
      "value": {"field": "Number_of_SUM", "label": "Number of Students"},
      "source": "Number_of_SUM"
    }
  ]
}

I've created an example code sandbox with comments here: https://codesandbox.io/s/esri-cedar-in-react-forked-kyoc2?file=/src/App.js

Let me know if you have further questions.

Also, I've made proposed updates to the README to show how to import Cedar and amCharts in modern web applications that use bundlers like webpack: #476

I'm assuming that would have been helpful. I welcome your input on that.
