Why does my Index of Directory shown if I access my website

Question

In the past month I work on pure php laravel framework which the project is already done and running on live. This month our team asking for revising the project to reactjs with laravel php framework. Which the development stage is already done this past few weeks. Our team trying to deploy in production in which they encounter one problem when we access the website Ex. www.myproject.com the page show the root project folder it look like this.

Note: That my project is fresh and we not configure anything to htaccess.

The scenario before i deploy the project:.

npm install

then

npm run production

to get the final index.js file which will contain all the code bundled

Package.json:

Webpack.config.js

Web server

You need to configure your webserver's document root to point at the `public` directory. — ceejayoz, Dec 18 '18 at 01:19

If you're using Apache, `DocumentRoot` is what you want to be tweaking. — ceejayoz, Dec 18 '18 at 01:54
Exactly what I said. You need to set your Apache `DocumentRoot` properly, to point to the `public` directory of your Laravel app. — ceejayoz, Dec 18 '18 at 01:56

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName appname.com
    ServiceAlias www.appname.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/appname/public

    <Directory "/var/www/appname/public">
            Options FollowSymLinks
            ReWriteEngine On
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
