Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to bootstrap the frontend application for our project. We started by learning about React and its advantages. Then, we learned how to create a React project and added the required dependencies to support the task manager features. Next, we created a common layout to provide a consistent look and feel for our application. Finally, we created an initial dummy page to put everything together and be able to see our application in action.

You should now have a good overview of React and the required dependencies to be able to bootstrap a functional frontend application from scratch. In the next chapter, we’ll set up the frontend application so that we can consume the secured backend HTTP API. We’ll create a login page to initialize the authentication flow, and the required logic to protect some of the URLs and routes.
