/**
 *
 * NOTE: About React Fast Refresh:
 *
 * You can enable fast-refresh for this project by enabling the
 * commented lines of code in this file, above and in .babelrc
 *
 * This will change the build so that the client is served by
 * webpack-dev-server and, as such, it should not be loaded via
 * the Express server:
 *
 * - The client will be viewable at http://localhost:8080/
 * - All API requests being sent by the client will be
 *   automatically routed to http://localhost:3000
 * - Since API requests are proxied, the server must still be
 *   running for the React app to compile and run correctly.
 *
 * Since that last requirement _may_ be prohibitive to
 * completing the assigned tasks, the fast-refresh
 * option has been disabled by default.
