README

• Using Rails 7 and React (via esbuild)

• Structure

• All React code lives in app/javascript
• npm run build runs build.js which defines the main entry app/javascript/application.js (which then imports everything for the build)
• see routes.rb for:
  • path to React (an empty app/view/home/index.erb with js set in the headers of layouts/application.html.erb)
  • path to Rails API (just the one app/controllers/nyt_books_controller that fetches and cleans the data)

• To run locally: bin/dev or npm run build && rails s
