Connect New Post Page to Backend endpoint POST api/v1/posts #72

Currently the backend and frontend are unconnected

It would be great to connect the New Post Page to the backend so you could start creating some real posts from the client. Only authenticated users should be able to create a new post.

The full Heroku POST endpoint you need to be hitting is https://uni-forum.herokuapp.com/api/v1/posts

Pre-requisites:

completion of the posts endpoint in the backend
completion of user authentication in frontend and backend

How to get started:

use the axios "api" instance inside the api folder to make the api calls to the backend
