Example local setup and running:

1. yarn nx run react-interapp-routing:build && cp -R dist/packages/react-interapp-routing/ node_modules/@genesisx/react-interapp-routing/
2. If you're using the local react package as well: yarn nx run react:build && cp -R dist/packages/react/ node_modules/@genesisx/react/
3. Create first react app: yarn nx generate @genesisx/react:application react-app-1 4202
4. And the second one: yarn nx generate @genesisx/react:application react-app-2 4203
5. Run proxy server: yarn nx generate @genesisx/react-interapp-routing:proxy-server
6. Wait for message it's completed: Proxy Server is now ready, open following url in your browser http://localhost:9200
7. Visit either http://localhost:9200/home for react-app-1 or http://localhost:9200/products for react-app-2
