Issues with Flask & React development

  • Took way too long to realize that I didn’t have the backend service running and didn’t realize sooner because a lot of the calculations happen in the client, plus there’s dev setup that obfuscates that
  • Issues of not having the correct CORS rules during local development - I don’t know why I didn’t consider turning off CORS during development
  • Event propagation between components, and in particular stopping click events from being propagated from tooltip to parent card when I had an icon in between to capture the click- Was the tooltip actually a nested component of the icon?
  • Requests being rejected from remote server due to CORS rules
