project/urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    path('api/',include('api.urls')), 
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('frontend.urls')), # This has to be the last item!
]

frontend/urls.py

#...
from django.urls import re_path
#...
urlpatterns = [
    re_path(r".*", index) # RegExpr: any character is correct
]

Django routing and react routing don't have to mix. They are completely separate from each other. You get your API data from the django routes and then create you own routes on the front-end with react-router. Read this for some context: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/build-a-to-do-application-using-django-and-react.
