How do you set up an easy backend for React? In this example we'll create a simple React app front-end with a Node.js codehooks.io backend API and database. The main objective of this example is to learn how to use codehooks.io as an API backend for your React app.

For a more comprehensive React example app, check out this this blog post on how to create a serveless quote api.
