Rendering preview blocks with Advanced Reviews while using React for Episerver websites

We are trying out the Advanced CMS add-on Advanced Reviews for one of our Episerver websites at my current client. The thing is that we are also using JOS Content Serializer for turning our Episerver content items into serializable objects in order to feed our React frontend (described in previous articles).

For my current client we’re building a component based platform as a common feature hub for serveral large EPiServer websites. For this, we have stripped away the default Razor based rendering that is normally used for the view and edit modes, and replaced it with React all the way through.
