Notes

• app/React/React.php provides function to talks to the local express server
• app/Provider/ReactServiceProvider.php register the provider and the blade directive
• resources/assets/components.js includes all the JSX file packed for express server and browser (client side rendering)
• resources/assets/global.js register Jquery (not a must for this project actually) to window.$ and react_ujs for client side rendering
