Chapter 8: Consuming the REST API with React

This chapter explains networking with React. That is really important skill which we need in most of the React apps. We will learn about promises, which make asynchronous code cleaner and more readable. For networking, we will use the fetch and axios libraries. As an example, we will use the GitHub REST API to demonstrate how to consume RESTful web services with React.
