Integrating React with Phoenix LiveView without External Libraries

This article explores how to integrate React components within a Phoenix LiveView application without the use of external libraries like Inertia.js. The author details the steps to create a `package.json` for dependency management, set up esbuild as the JavaScript bundler, and remove the default esbuild configuration provided by Phoenix. A LiveView Hook is utilized to mount a React component into the DOM. The article includes sample code for defining a LiveView and React component, with explanations on handling events and data fetching. The author concludes that this approach is effective for managing client-side complexity while maintaining the benefits of LiveView, suggesting it as a low-latency solution for user interactions.
