Running in dev

Make sure you have node and yarn (or npm) installed.

First run, "yarn install".

Then run, "yarn run dev" (you may need to first create a dist directory. I'm not 100% sure off the top of my head).

It will start a webpack dev server on port 3000.

Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the running app.

cds-slavetrade's Issues

Have inputs not all be text entry

Make the fields that would be better served without text entry, not text entry.

Add delete functionality

Allow for users to delete entries.

Implement a server for production

Currently the only server in place is the webpack dev server. Need to create a server for production. Use the template from previous iteration of code.
