Hi @surajsrv11 I'm a newbie in React may I ask what API method did you used to fetch data in API. Because when I use fetch() in Web API they show me an error "JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data".

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

fetch("https://disease.sh/v3/covid-19/all")
        .then(response => response.json())
        .then(data => (
            this.setState(
                {
                    covid_world : data
                }
            )
        ))
    }

I use this method to get the data from the APIs and stored them into the state. If you want to see the whole project Covid19-info for detail.

Thank you @surajsrv11 , I already figure it out I just forgot to insert the http protocol that's why the API didn't work. I already try your project and now I'm at the 2nd one.

@surajsrv11 - Is this blog post just to share ideas or am I missing something? I am new to React and came here hoping this blog tells me how to go about implementing the above apps ?

[Suraj Vishwakarma]

Above we have ideas that you can implement using your knowledge and creativity as you can

Hi Suraj, I was actually looking forward to having tutorials attached for each of these app in case we are a newbie. Nevertheless, thanks.
