React Level 3

In this challenge you will build an app using React that queries an API and displays them to demonstrate your skills in React.

Requirements

In order for the project to be considered "completed", it must complete the following requirements:

1. Visualize Data: fetches data from an API (free ones here) and renders the results in a table with paging.

2. Leverages React Hooks: uses useState() and useEffect() to manage variable changes and accessing API

3. Git Best Practices: hides all API Keys and secrets in a .env file and uses a .gitignore to prevent all unneccessary files from being added to the GitHub Repository. Also does not push node_modules as it is very large.

4. CHOOSE ONE

• Store Users in Database: Have a form that allows users to enter their emails to join your mailing list. Display this mailing list in a table.
• Enable Download Data Functionality: add ability to download the data table (all results of the API)

See MORE_INSTRUCTIONS.md for a tips to get started
