Setting up the environment

When we start to make an application with ReactJS, we need to do some setup, which just involves an HTML page and includes a few files. First, we create a directory (folder) called chapter1. Open it up in any of your code editors. Create a new file called index.html directly inside it and add the following HTML5 boilerplate code:

<!doctype html> 
<html class="no-js" lang=""> 
    <head> 
    <meta charset="utf-8"> 
<title>ReactJS Chapter 1</title> 
    </head> 
    <body> 
        <!--[if lt IE 8]> 
            <p class="browserupgrade">You are using an 
            <strong>outdated</strong> browser.  
            Please <a href="http://browsehappy.com/">
            upgrade your browser</a> to improve your 
            experience.</p> 
        <![endif]--> 
        <!-- Add your site or application content here --> 
        <p>Hello world! This is HTML5 Boilerplate.</p>      
    </body> 
</html> 

This is a standard HTML page that we can update once we have included the React and Bootstrap libraries.

Now we need to create a couple of folders inside the chapter1 folder named images, css, and js (JavaScript) to make your application manageable. Once you have completed the folder structure it will look like this:
