To connect React.js frontend with Laravel backend, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a Laravel backend API: First, create API routes in your Laravel application that will be used to communicate with the React frontend.
  2. Install Laravel CORS package: Install the Laravel CORS package to allow cross-origin requests from your React frontend to your Laravel backend.
  3. Set up your React frontend: Create a new React app or use an existing one. Make API calls to the Laravel backend using Axios or fetch.
  4. Configure proxy settings: If you are running your React frontend and Laravel backend on different ports during development, you may need to configure a proxy in your React app to redirect API requests to your Laravel backend.
  5. Test the connection: Make sure that the React frontend can successfully communicate with the Laravel backend by testing API requests and responses.


By following these steps, you should be able to connect your React.js frontend with your Laravel backend and build a full-stack application.
