### Function Component: `Create`
The component is defined as a function named `Create`.
#### `submitHandler` Function
- **Purpose**: This function handles the form submission.
- **Parameters**: Takes an `event` object as a parameter.
- **Functionality**:
- Prevents the default form submission behavior using `event.preventDefault()`.
- Retrieves the values from the form fields (title, body, and author).
- Constructs a `data` object with these values.
- Makes a POST request to a specified URL using Axios, sending the `data` object.
- If the request is successful, logs the response and resets the form fields.
- If the request fails, logs the error.
#### JSX Structure
The component returns a JSX fragment (`<>...</>`) containing the following elements:
- **Container Div**: A div with the class `container` to contain the form.
- **Row Div**: A div with the class `row` to structure the layout.
- **Column Div**: A div with classes `col-lg-8`, `col-md-10`, and `mx-auto` to center the form within the container.
- **Paragraph**: A paragraph element with the text "Create a post......?".
- **Form**: A form element with:
- Class `sentMessage`
- ID `contactForm`
- `onSubmit` handler set to `submitHandler`
#### Form Fields
The form contains three input fields and a submit button:
1. **Title Input**:
- Type: `text`
- Class: `form-control`
- Placeholder: "title"
- ID: `title`
- Required: `true`
- Name: `title`
2. **Body Textarea**:
- Class: `form-control`
- Placeholder: "Body"
- ID: `body`
- Name: `body`
3. **Author Input**:
- Type: `text`
- Class: `form-control`
- Placeholder: "Author"
- ID: `author`
- Required: `true`
- Name: `author`
4. **Submit Button**:
- Type: `submit`
- Class: `btn btn-primary`
- ID: `sendMessageButton`
- Text: "Send"
### Summary
This React component provides a form for creating a post with a title, body, and author. When the form is submitted, the `submitHandler` function collects the input data and sends it to a specified URL using Axios. If the submission is successful, the form is reset; otherwise, any errors are logged to the console.
