ReactJS front-end with NodeJS backend: Rendering

I'm currently making an application using ReactJS for the front-end and NodeJS for the backend, however, I'm confused regarding how to connect those two. I read about both, server-side rendering and client-side rendering. I followed this tutorial (https://www.fullstackreact.com/articles/using-create-react-app-with-a-server/ ) as to how to connect my ReactJS app, which I created using creat-react-app and my node backend, however, I read that the solution of adding "proxy": "http://localhost:8000" (or whatever port node runs on) to the package.json file is only suitable for development. Anyway, what I would like to know is: What is the best way of connecting ReactJS and Node.js if the user should be able to enter,delete or update data, which is saved to a database?

You should check out Nextjs. It is based on React and NodeJS.

I believe this is exactly what you are looking for. It is an easy-to-use framework that handles all the difficult stuff when it comes to server rendering while keeping the frontend async and dynamic. Besides that. When you get better using it, you can do in dept configuration to optimize to you need. Hope that helps.

Try out one of the examples on the git repository.
