ReactJS | Expense Manager API (Example)

ReactJS | Expense Manager API


Hello folks! welcome back to a new section of our tutorial on ReactJS. In this section of our tutorial on ReactJS, we will be studying about ReactJS Expense Manager API.

Create a new expense Rest API application by following the guidelines from Http Client Programming -> Expense rest API Server and start the server. The expense server will be running at http://localhost:8000.

Create a Skeleton Application

Open a terminal and go to your workspace.

> cd /go/to/your/workspace

Next, create a new React application using Create React App tool.

> create-react-app react-expense-app

It will create a new folder react-expense-app with startup template code.

Next, go to the expense-manager folder and install the necessary library.

cd react-expense-app 
npm install

The npm install installs the required library under node_modules folder.

Delete all files under src and public folder.

Next, create a folder, components under src to include our React components. The final structure of our application is as follows:

|-- package-lock.json
|-- package.json
`-- public
   |-- index.html
`-- src
   |-- index.js
   `-- components
   |   |-- mycom.js
   |   |-- mycom.css

Let's create our root component, App, which will render the entire application.

Create a file, App.js under component folder and write a simple component to emit Hello World message.

import React from "react";

class App extends React.Component {
   render() {
      return (
         <div>
            <h1>Hello World!</h1>
         </div>
      );
   }
}
export default App;

Next, create our main file, index.js under src folder and call our newly built component.

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

import App from './components/App'

ReactDOM.render(
   <React.StrictMode>
      <App />
   </React.StrictMode>,
   document.getElementById('root')
);

Next, create a html file, index.html beneath public folder, which will be our entry point of the application.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
   <head>
      <meta charset="utf-8">
      <title>Expense App</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <div id="root"></div>
   </body>
</html>

Next, serve the application making use of npm command.

npm start

Next, open the web browser and then enter http://localhost:3000 in the address bar and press enter.
