Moving from a local JSON mock to a real database often feels like a daunting leap for frontend developers. By utilizing Laravel's stable conventions and predictable routing, you can swap your backend without refactoring your React components, gaining professional-grade data persistence with minimal friction.

By moving logic into the view layer with Single File Components, the framework is challenging long-held Laravel conventions. This shift promises faster development, but it requires a new way of organizing your project to avoid chaos in your resource folders.
