Issues and Solutions:

• Issue rendering index from category page. Issue was solved with a render: false in the state:
• When entering index page from categories, all categories would not be received in time. Attempted solutions were a componentDidMount, changing location of function call, returning null if !projects.

• this.state = { render: false }

• setTimeout(function () { this.setState({ render: true }) }.bind(this), 2000)

• Issue creating new projects. In order to create projects, they must first send a request to the backend to save a new id for the project, and are then edited. Initial solution to this was loading page, that has now been corrected to push to edit page asynchronously.

• this.props.createProject(this.state).then((project) => { that.props.history.push(/projects/${project.id}/edit) } )
