In you wonder how you can follow this tutorial we can redirect you to the article itself: Build a blog with React and Strapi. Or you may want to directly try the result of this tutorial: Strapi Starter React Blog.

Is REST API a dependency in any way for GraphQL plugin?

For now the REST API is mandatory on Strapi.

Any idea of ETA for unique fields other than ID? (slugs for example)

Absolutely, UID are coming soon like we mentioned on the Monthly Update. This kind of field is used to create an SEO-friendly URL to retrieve content from the frontend application. We are very excited to provide a proper way to build URLs that match the SEO needs.
