Hello Dev I have 3 questions.

1. is all of this code supposed to be on one page ? (App.js)
2. is all of this code supposed to be inside of the main react component and then return the full calendar function underneath it ?
3. I'm a tech teacher in the states and this is the best walk thru I have seen. Thank you so much. Is there a github repository for this example ?

thanks.

Hello there,

1,2- All of this code is in the same component but it is just for demo purposes. Feel free to divide it into utils files for the main functions if you want.
