I used to think connecting a React frontend with a Rails API would be complex.

by Giménez Silva Germán Alberto —

I used to think connecting a React frontend with a Rails API would be complex. Turns out, with the right setup (and a bit of Docker), it’s simpler than I imagined.

In this article, I walk through creating a React app that fetches user data from a Rails backend, running locally on separate ports (3000 for React, 3001 for Rails). It includes setting up CORS and handling basic state with loading and error control.
