ReactJS - HOC vs Twig/Laravel template

    Hi

    I have a fairly large web app I am working on (built in ReactJS) using SLIM/Propel for the backend. Currently I need to implement the user onboarding workflow (registration/verification/login), which brings me to my dilemma - I am stuck in that I cannot decide what is the best way forward. I have a fair amount of work done on the back end using SLIM for the Restful API, and Propel for the ORM, so I am very reluctant to do too much rewriting/porting due to time constraints.

    I think templating for security reasons is a good way forward, so I can either use Twig, or Laravel. Naturally I'd prefer to go the Twig route (because I have built a very slim TWIG scaffold that seems to authenticate well, and also there would be very little porting required). But from what I can find there seem to be a good few resources helping with integrating Laravel and React, but not so much Twig and ReactJS.

    Alternatively, I can skip TWIG/Laravel all together and stick to a pure ReactJS app, using HOC components for pre-and-post authentication activities, but I don't know if this is a good way forward.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Would it not be handier to just use something like react-router and a normal authentication flow to protect the routes & components? I'm not sure exactly what you mean by templating though.

    (I'm trying not be pedantic but HOC stands for higher order component, so no need to say HOC components)
