As I’m totally new to the concept of building using a full JS stack I bought some tutorials and followed those. As great as they were they allowed me to bypass the full read of the docs, instead opting to skip straight to things I was unclear about, which in hindsight was a mistake.
Yes, I followed the official tutorial until it broke (at the first testing stage - library has been replaced and no info about what to replace it with), it isn’t up to date with v1.7.0.3 I’m afraid.
