The frontier between your [Laravel](https://laravel.com/) app and your decoupled frontend.

**Frontier** allows you to run your favorite frontend framework and to serve the initial page by the backend, like a proxy.

It's great for anyone using custom domains to test their applications or running multiple frontends that use the same backend. You will be able to test your app using cookies, sessions and avoiding CORS "same source" issues.
