Running a Compiled React Admin App with Soul

Soul provides a way to run a compiled version of your React Admin application using its extensions feature. To do this, build your React Admin app and place the compiled application inside a folder named _extensions. This setup will expose your compiled React Admin app with an endpoint accessible to the outside world. For more details about this feature, refer to this page.
