Summary

In this chapter, we started the development of our frontend using the backend that we created in Chapter 5, Securing Your Backend. We defined the functionalities of the frontend and created a mock-up of the UI. We started frontend development with an unsecured version of the backend and, therefore, made some modifications to our Spring Security configuration class. We also created the React app that we will use during development.

In the next chapter, we will add create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) functionalities to our frontend.
