# Install dependencies
$ npm install

# Run application
$ npm run dev

There are many ways to create HTTP requests within JavaScript. We'll be using the Axios library to use a simplified promise-based approach within our project. Let's install it by typing the following in our Terminal:

# Install Axios to our project
$ npm install axios --save

In order to create a mock API, we can use the json-serverlibrary. This allows us to get up-and-running globally quickly by just creating adb.jsonfile inside of our project. It effectively creates a GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE API and stores the data in a file, appended to our original...
