So far in this course all of the data that we've been utilizing has been hard coded directly into the application.

In the last guide we walked through how to sign up for an account on DevCamp Space and we also talked about kind of a high level view of what API's are.

So now that we know what the data's gonna look like, and also, the URL that we are going to access to grab our portfolio items, in the next few guides, we're gonna see what steps we need to take in order to implement the ability to go out and access that data and pull it directly into our application.

Now that we have Axios installed on our system, we can actually communicate with the APIs.

Now that we have all of our data coming in, I'm gonna do something that may seem a little counterintuitive, and that is we're gonna focus next on just moving the data call from the app component, which is the parent component for the entire application, into the home component.

This is gonna be a really fun guide, because this is the guide where we are gonna connect everything.

So now that we have our data actually rendering out onto the page, let's see what the issue is with that warning.

We're gonna take a little break from coding in this guide and we're going to get some real data that we can work with.

Since the last guide, I've added in all of the data elements that I mentioned. So now I have, if you come all the way down, I have 12 various portfolio items.

In the last guide, we walked through how we could get a view of our data and we used the console log in order to see that in the browser.

In the last guide, we walked through how to use the JavaScript debugger.

Now that you know several different ways to access and get a view of the data that you want to work with, now we're ready to start connecting that knowledge with actually bringing that data and rendering it on the screen.

In the last guide, we picked out the exact names that we need for our API.

So I know this has been a long section and I really wanted to isolate how you can work with APIs in React because that's gonna be something you're most likely gonna be doing on pretty much a daily basis as you build out your own React applications.
