Step 7: Create a Production Build & Libraries Folder

• Command: After the dependencies are installed, generate a production-ready build by running: yarn run build

Step 8: Start in Development Mode

• Command: To begin development and work on your project in a live environment, execute: php spark serve
• Outcome: This will launch a local development server, allowing you to preview your project in real-time. The server also provides hot-reloading, meaning any changes you make to your files will automatically refresh in your browser. It will be accessible at http://localhost:8080.
