This is a work in progress.
The idea is to build a demonstration of real-time integration with the QuickBooks Online API. I imagine it as a very small subset of what I do in my work at Beanworks where all edits to the accounting data propagate in real-time.
So far it allows a user to sign in to QuickBooks Online using OAuth 2, retrieves all the bills and displays them in a table.
The OAuth part is perhaps a little bit interesting in it's own right, because it's done using React, React Router, GraphQL, Apollo Client with Hooks and GraphQL Yoga on the back-end. The QuickBooks developer portal provides excellent documentation and examples on how to get started. But it's all a bit old school. This provides an example of how it might look in a modern application!
You'll need to sign up for a QuickBooks Developer account.
