Displaying the auction view

The view for displaying a single auction will contain the core functionality of the real-time auction and bidding features for the marketplace. Before getting into the implementation of real-time bidding, we will set up the full-stack slice for retrieving details of a single auction and display these details in a React component that will house the auction display, timer, and bidding capabilities. In the following sections, we will start by discussing the backend API for fetching a single auction. Then, we will look at the implementation of an Auction component, which will use this API to retrieve and display the auction details, along with the state of the auction. To give users a real-time update of the state of the auction, we will also implement a timer in this view to indicate the time left until a live auction ends.
