Dotnet new with Hooks

I created this repo to learn how to use React hooks by using the dotnet new react command.

What have I done?

The main things that I did after creating the project are:

• Update the file ClientApp/package.jsonto be the same as the latest version created by Create React App (currently using react-scripts = 2.1.3). This includes updating everything and removing any unneeded scripts and dependencies. I also added the eslint hooks plugin to the package.json eslint config.
• Moved the page components from ClientApp/components into a folder ClientApp/pages/
• Re-wrote the component ClientApp/pages/Counter in a new hooks based component ClientApp/pages/CounterHooks
• Re-wrote the component ClientApp/pages/FetchData in a new hooks based component ClientApp/pages/FetchDataHooks
• Updated the navigation to link to these for comparison
