Lesson 1: Create a New App Builder App with the React Spectrum template
In this lesson, we'll start bootstrapping the app with Runtime actions and the React Spectrum starter template.
Initialization
To initialize an App Builder app, let's use init command from the CLI.
Copied to your clipboardaio app init todo-app --no-extensions
You should be selecting the org, project and workspace for your app, and then presented with a few options what you want your app to include (serverless actions, web UI assets, CI/CD pipeline, events). In this lab, we keep all except events.
The next question asks you to select the sample actions to be created as part of the initial app. Since we'll only rely on the aio-lib-state service, we can select the default option Generic.
Next, you'll be prompted to select the UI template. Pick React Spectrum 3.
Finally, you can name your generic action. We'll name it todolist.
What happens next, is that from the command line a NodeJS project is created including the Adobe I/O Runtime actions, configuration files, tests etc. You could explore your project in VS Code, either by opening VSCode -> Open... -> select app folder, or typing the following command.

The mandatory environment variables should be automatically defined in the .env file, namely AIO_runtime_namespace, AIO_runtime_auth, and SERVICE_API_KEY.
