This project is a basic demo for running Laravel and React together. You can read the tutorial over at Tutsplus.com
You need to have all the laravel dependencies and npm/yarn to use this demo. First clone the repo or download it as a zip.
Next, make sure that you're on the right branch. If you're here just for the Laravel API, you should be looking at laravelapi. If you're here for Laravel + React code, master branch is all you need.
Setup you DB, .env file, take care of migration and seeding. If you're in doubt, the reading the tutorial should get you in the right track. Once you are done with that, run php artisan serve. The api is accessible at http://localhost:8000/api/products
To make React work, run npm install && npm run dev. Alternatively you can use yarn over npm too. Now, head over to http://localhost:8000/
