-In this code, the function loads data via `client`, a https://promisesaplus.com/[Promise compliant] instance of rest.js. When it is done retrieving from `/api/employees`, it then invokes the function inside `done()` and set's the state based on it's HAL document (`response.entity._embedded.employees`). You might remember the structure of `curl /api/employees` <<Touring your REST service,earlier>> and see how it maps onto this structure.

 When the state is updated, the `render()` function is invoked by the framework. The employee state data is included in creation of the `<EmployeeList />` React component as an input parameter.
