Notes

• You can develop the UI independently of the backend.
  • This means you don't have to set up the entire stack (databases, etc.), or worry about getting starter data.
  • By default, the UI points to the production API.
  • You can configure it to point to your own backend (if you are working on a new feature and want to start building the UI before it's deployed to production).
  • API_HOST is specified in src/config.js
• You can configure the port used by webpack-dev-server in webpack.config.js.

  • Strongly recommended for active developers! We move fast and it's helpful to be up to speed with everything that's happening.
