How to combine React and Slim PHP Framework?

Question

Slim Framework

I am planning to make a small React application with Slim backend.
What's the best way to get this whole thing together? Would it be better to create an application through create-react-app,
and then add Slim to it, or first install Slim through composer create-project, and then screw React? From the backend, I will only need to interact with the database (at least for now)

Answer 1

You create a separate Slim, a separate React project. Write an API in slim, and get data for react through axios .

Answer 2

But I think you shouldn't care if your react application just knocks on the server api.
If you also need a rendering server, then you will not find better than Node js. There are many articles on the Internet on this topic.
