React-ified Octocats

This Octodex is amazing. It has revolutionized the Github Octodex experience and more people are viewing Octocats on their mobile devices than ever.

However, the code is repetitive and isn't yet setup to work with an API.

Your task now is to refactor the static Octodex into a static (non-API) version in React.

You'll identify the main Components on the page and create React components for each, breaking down those Components into smaller ones as needed.

Objectives

[ ] Use some Octocat images to use in your page (12-16 or so). Your layout should be flexible but doesn't need to perfectly responsive.
[ ] Figure out the main components of the page. These will be the main components in your <App> component.
[ ] You should have at least two components...
[ ] Create your React app
[ ] Clear out the implementation in the render method of App and have it render your main components.
[ ] Create those components and paste the appropriate HTML from your Octodex into the render method of those components.
[ ] Break down those components and use this.props to dynamically customize the components that need it.
[ ] Place the definition of each Octocat in an array and use map to generate the Octocat components

[ ] Put the array of Octocats in a octocats.json file and import that into your app.

[ ] Recreate the page as closely as you possibly can. Use the same fonts, sizes, and colors. Download some of your favorites.
[ ] Use the fetch api to retrieve the list of Octocats from this api instead
