React Controlled Forms pt.1

In this two part blog I will be discussing Controlled forms in React. “Controlled form” means that the inputs from the form get their value from our React state. In this first part of this blog series I am going to show you how to set up the start of this app. In the second blog in this series we will connect the React form we are going to build in this blog to a backend in Ruby on Rails. Then we will make all of the necessary adjustments in our React app to communicate with the backend and the database.
