How to organize yii+react link?

Question

Frontend

I have such a question, I want to write the frontend in reactjs and the backend directly in yii2. Based on yii2. If I roughly understand how to implement it, but not quite. I remove everything from the frontend folder there, add index.html and all react components. Am I thinking right? and backend i just leave the same only use rest api

Answer 1

React can be anywhere, as long as it can be run from a browser. Put the yii backend in a separate 'backend_api' folder, and let react be in the root.
