 * I am trying to create custom plugins for WordPress using React. For context, 
   I have been following this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKqogVcqDHA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKqogVcqDHA)
 * Running WordPress locally on XAMPP, I have added two new plugins:
    –wp-content—-
   plugins —-+added-plugin-one —-+added-plugin-two
 * Each added plugin has the same basic structure – they are React apps that have
   been added following the instructions in the video (in the Boilerplate Plugin
   section).
 * When I add the plugins and run `npm run build`, I can see them on the Plugins
   menu on the WordPress Dashboard. I can activate both plugins from this screen
   as well.
 * However, when I go to edit a post and try to insert these plugins as blocks, 
   I only see one of the plugins available. The other plugin and its icon are not
   displayed in the editor.
 * I can deactivate either one and see the other one in the post editor, but I would
   like to see both plugins and be able to use both of them. Is there a reason why
   I might only be able to use one of them and not both? Thanks for any suggestions.

 * Complete speculation, I suspect a name collision where one function is overriding
   the other from the other plugin. Unless you namespace or objectify names to isolate
   them from other code, you need to ensure all names are unique.
