I went through the tutorial about creating a SPA in React. The next thing I want to look at is integrating a set of REST APIs into it. Could you point me in the direct of a good tutorial to follow?

Can you clarify more on what you are trying to do? If your goal is to consume REST APIs, that is fairly straightforward. Here is a simple tutorial on that: [https://www.kirupa.com/react/working\_with\_external\_data.htm](https://www.kirupa.com/react/working_with_external_data.htm)

Thanks Kirupa for getting back to me so quickly. I was looking for a tutorial on using basic CRUD operations. The tutorial you have referred to gives me enough for the retrieval but I’m still unsure how to take values from the page and pass them through. An example would be, I would like to create an account and would have the user enter email address and password, how do I take those values through to make the POST request to the API?

Thanks
