I need to create a new project using reactJS and lumen 5.5 and i was installed lumen 5.5 and reactJS. but then i was stuck, so i have some questions:
where is the position of the reactJS folders should be?
how i can add a react component in the home page with data-source from lumen api?
how we can integrate between them?
what the content of package.json should be?
i will appreciate any clear answer, because i was spent alot of time to make an integration between them without any results.
Lumen isn't intended to have views, it's primarily intended to be a lightweight API framework. If you want views and a front end, you should use Laravel. Which also comes with a react preset to get you started right away. Laravel also has API routes built in that you can use for your API. The good news is that your code from Lumen should be fairly easy to transfer over to a Laravel project.

Hi guys I’m trying to bulid a website which django works as an rest-api and react works as a front side. I manage to do the whole thing just fine and about to deploy it using aws. But there is one thing I couldn’t really get. Inside my django project I have an app that uses only django template to render things to front. And other apps are working only as apis to get and post things via react. Is it possible to deploy this kind of structure without any special options? I searched internet for a while but I couldn’t really find an example that fits my situation. Thanks!
Yes, you should be able to deploy it without extra options: you can have one Django template view to host the React app entry point, and the rest would be Rest API views that are accessed by React.
We have an existing legacy laravel application and like to convert it into a react application for this kind of application we want to migrate but can't do in a big bang way. what is Ideally needed? make a react application and put laravel application in an iframe and then migrate one by one section? thinking of using httpclient and parse dom.
do we have a better way?
Well, firstly you need to actually analyze the scope of work that needs to happen.
Ideally, you migrate component of your Laravel app step by step to React app.
I have to create an application where users will have their unique usernames and profiles like "website.com/JohnDoe". for that the client asked me to develop it in any good PHP framework and client also need an android/ios app (which he disclosed after 2nd meeting) . so I was(before 2nd meeting) going to use Laravel totally. but since he said he wanted a mobile app too, so I decided to use Laravel as backend API, for Web frontend I will use Reactjs and for Mobile I would use ReactNative ( I've done same before). since Laravel provides react support so my I was planning to use React within the laravel.
Then client said he is more concern about SEO of his website. so I had two options
Use laravel as API provider only. and create ReactJS app totally separate from Laravel.
In this case I will need Nodejs server. Then I thought If I have a nodejs server than why would I go for laravel, I could use Express.
Use ReactJS within laravel and use any SSR package to cope with ssr.
If I am going for second option, can anyone point me to already live website which uses React Helmet SSR or Laravel-react-ssr?
Laravel react-ssr: https://github.com/spatie/laravel-server-side-rendering
React Helmet-ssr: https://github.com/nfl/react-helmet#server-usage
I have read both, and I am too confused. I am beginner in both Laravel and React(node) so I am unable to understand what both are proposing.
i deployed your 2 option mentioned let me give you the site https://v3.topviewnyc.com/, i created a microservice which would take care of SSR besides my hooks and components are build on react so am totally able of enjoy the SPA frontend side with react using components and get data via laravels API
So I got reactJs as frontend and Laravel as backend.In local laravel is running on a t.test domain and reactJs is running on localhost:3000 but I want to deploy them now on the same domain on a sharing host.So how can I set this up?Putting laravel in the react or putting reactJs in public folder of laravel will that work?
Since reactJS is frontend and Laravel is Backend, you simply have to put react in the front line. so in an example, if you have mydomain.com react can run there directly and then you can let Laravel run on a seperate location. example backendservice.mydomain.com.
then configure your url calls from react to the laravel backend.
That is it. you do not need to put them all together. I personally advise you to kep them seperate.
That way, versioning in the future could have a version 1.0 backend and version 2.5 frontend (basically, it becomes simple)
Here is a reference you could use. https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/12/06/crud-app-laravel-react
I hope I was clear enough. if not, am willing to clarify further.
I am a web developer tries to learn React.js. I am thinking about a blog for my first React project. Based on articles and tutorials I have read in the past few days, I am thinking about to use Node.js, Express.js and MongoDB for my server side and React.js for the front-end. Before I start, I want to be clear on few questions I have.
Are those enough to build a blog? Can React.js be used for UI without other template library such as Handlebars?? I have seen few articles using both React and Template engine and confused if I am going to need another template engine.
Can I use Json as communication method(Restful API) between the UI and the server?
Yes for all. But I suggest to use Redus(or Flax) to control all states.
