App overview

• NodeJS version: 8.9.4
• The frontent application is built with ReactJS
• The root component is Layout.js
• In order to avoid the cross-origin limitations calling the breweryDB api, a minimal Express app is running as proxy server. The npm run server command starts the proxy and fetches the api data, upon request of the frontend.
