Part 2: Building a Reactive UI with React

In Part 1 of our book, we built the backend of the Postagram application using Django, with authentication features and post and comment management. In this part of the book, you will build a React application representing the UI interface of Postagram, where users will see posts and comments and be able to like posts or comments, upload profile pictures, and visit other users’ profiles. At the end of this part, you will have the required knowledge to use React to handle authentication from the frontend side, build UI components from scratch, work with React Hooks such as useState, useContext, and useMemo, and send requests to a REST API and handle the responses.
