React CSS Flexbox Sticky Footer

React Compatible Flexbox Sticky Footer

Instructions:

  1. Add CSS from index.css into your project's stylesheet
  2. In your app/public/index.html file, add class="sfooter" to <div id="root">
  3. In your src/index.js file, wrap all the markup that lives inside <BrowserRouter> and sits above your footer inside a <div class="sfooter-content"></div> (See lines 31, 39 in index.js)

manifest.json provides metadata used when your web app is installed on a
user's mobile device or desktop. See https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/web-app-manifest/

<!--
Notice the use of %PUBLIC_URL% in the tags above.
It will be replaced with the URL of the `public` folder during the build.
Only files inside the `public` folder can be referenced from the HTML.
Unlike "/favicon.ico" or "favicon.ico", "%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico" will
work correctly both with client-side routing and a non-root public URL.
Learn how to configure a non-root public URL by running `npm run build`.
