Hi Campers,
I am working on the first API project on the freeCodeCamp backend section. The first section of the API projects, ‘Get set for our API Development Projects’ says that I can use boilerplate found in this repository: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-npm/ to help with the projects. The problem is that is seems very complicated, I am not sure why I would need all of this “extra code”. Can anyone provide an explanation? Thanks.
