Comment:

 `invalid` is an [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/06/24/proposal-
 rename-invalid-worksforme-and-wontfix-ticket-resolutions/ unfortunately
 named ticket resolution that includes a handful of scenarios], including
 tickets that are actually support requests, and there is nothing that can
 be done.

 @bianquijulian is asking about how to  "implement react on the front end
 of a site" without having to load everything from a CDN (specifically
 mentioning React, ReactDOM and Babel), and using the same React components
 as the block editor.

 As I interpret this request, the desire is to load React, ReactDOM and
 Babel on the front end, which is not an enhancement suggestion. This can
 be accomplished using `wp_enqueue_script( 'react-dom' )` (which loads
 React as a dependency). Babel is not packaged with Core because it is a
 code compiler and should not be loaded on the front end of sites.

 If this is not what your question is @bianquijulian then feel free to
 provide more information. The block editor has been used on the front-end
 in many other projects by enqueuing the necessary packages. So I'm not
 sure specifically what would not be possible here.
