I took a first pass at styling, but we probably want to do things like improve the date format and maybe have some kind of indication as to which updates refer to which rows in the spreadsheet. There’s still a ton of updates we could make to improve things. If we run yarn start in the command line after that’s finished installing, then we’ll see the default page for the project:Īnd, if we open up src/App.js in that airtable-test directory, we can see how this page is being rendered with React: import React, This will create a new directory called airtable-test which is where we’ll be making our little React app. To get started, we have to head on over to the command line and run the following (but first make sure npm is installed): npx create-react-app airtable-test Here’s an example of what we’ll end up building, which is basically a React web app that’s using Airtable as a nifty sorta CMS:
I’ve spent a couple of hours thinking about how we might use Airtable to collect a whole bunch of data and then use its API to extract that info and show it in a web app. I’ve been thinking about making weekly notes for the different teams I work with at Gusto to read about what the design systems team is working on, things we’ve fixed, and any bugs we’ve encountered during that might impact other designers and engineers across our organization.
The neatest thing about it for me is that it has an API so that you can treat it like a database.
You can use it like a spreadsheet but it’s useful for all sorts of other things too.
