Boilerplate code for a very simple frontend that uses Airtable as a CMS. Built using create-react-app. It simply fetches and displays the data along with the column headers.
yarn install and yarn start
In order to authenticate to Airtable API, you have to create a .env file in the root directory, in which you will list the following parameters:
REACT_APP_AIRTABLE_API_KEY=YOUR_AIRTABLE_KEY
REACT_APP_AIRTABLE_API_URL=https://api.airtable.com/v0
REACT_APP_AIRTABLE_BASE=YOUR_AIRTABLE_BASE_ID
REACT_APP_AIRTABLE_TABLE=YOUR_AIRTABLE_TAB_NAME
If you change the details above, you need to restart your server.

I have created some very simple layout and sizing classes in App.css. The table is built with flexbox, so it should respond quite well to responsive environments.
I am using Vercel (ex-Zeit) or Netlify. Don't forget to set up the env variables (both services offer a way to do that on their platform GUI).
