When using react, run npm/yarn/pnpm build while building the app

[assapir]

Description

If one tries to start their app which bundled with react frontend without building it first, they will an error stating Error: Message("one of the static path are not found, Folder frontend/distfallback:frontend/dist/index.html")

To Reproduce

Create a SaaS app with React frontend. run cargo loco run

Expected Behavior

Suggest to have a build.rs that will run the build for the fronted. Even better will be that if it's in dev mode, it will start the react app in dev mode

A build.rs would also run if we were to call something like cargo loco help. It seems like this would be a good feature for the cli though. cargo loco start would build the frontend before serving

I do like the idea of a dev mode that can run multiple processes in the background. like a frontend dev server, tailwind cli --watch, etc
