Now, this is gonna be something you're only gonna do when you're going through a DevCamp specific project, but it should also prepare you for later on when you're working on your own applications, and you're working with some type of data dashboard.

So if you do not already have a DevCamp Space account, then you can go to this page, and you can sign up. So you can just go to devcamp.space and you can sign up for an account.

If you've already gone through one of our other courses and you already have account, then you can just log in right here. I'm gonna sign up just so we can have something to work with. So I'll just call this reactnative@devcamp.com. And I'll use the subdomain of reactnative. Typically you'd wanna use your first and last name, something like that.

Then I'll give a password, and then I'm going to register.

So with all of that in place, now you can see that we have a set of projects to work with.

We're gonna be working with the reactnative MemiPedia project, so I'm gonna click on View Data there. And as you're going through this, you're gonna see a few other tables popping up, for right now you'll just see the Users. You'll also see some more API Endpoints that are going to pop up as well. For right now I just want you to come down to this database table called Users, click View Data, and you'll see that there's just a demo account, an example one there for you.

That's more of just to kinda give you an example of what you might see. We're gonna create an account here. So you can come here, and probably just use your own email for this. I can use reactnative@devcamp.com, and then give a password. Make sure you remember your password and confirm it. And then don't worry about typing anything in the created_at form.

So just click the plus button, and now you'll see that we have this email address is now in the system.

Now this is scoped to your own application, and you'll see in a little bit in the next few guides how we're gonna be able to use this and we're gonna be able to log in to our application. Eventually we're gonna building out all of our own forms directly in the app, and so then as you're creating accounts, creating posts, and things like that, you're gonna be able to visualize and see the data right here, but all of the creation is gonna actually be coming from the app.

The only reason we're doing this is just so you have some starter data to work with. If you hit refresh now, you'll see that that demo account's removed, and now you only have the one that you created.

So now that we have some demo data to work with, in the next guide we're gonna start building in our logging in functionality. And we're gonna see how we can connect our mobile application directly to this API.
