React APP

First, let's create the front-end:

npx create-react-app front --use-npm

deconstruction:

• npx: a software that can download packages and use them directly

• create-react-app: an npm package that allows fast setup of a React App

• front: the name of the directory we want to work in

• --use-npm: otherwise, create-react-app defaults to yarn. yarn is completely fine, but in this exercise, we'll use npm.

Feel free to edit package.json to change the name and version of your front-end

Personally, I can't stand the browser opening on its own, so in package.json, I change the line

"start": "react-scripts start",

to

"start": "BROWSER=none react-scripts start",

Finally, let's delete the file README.md that create-react-app creates for us.
