React-Django: How to send different functional components (React) to Django Views?

So I am new to React and I can currently create different functional components when I use npx create-react-app appname but if I want to "package" these files and send them to my Django's view page, what is the best way to do this? I am having some trouble with webpack configuring everything in the methods I've attempted. I am trying to create a web app. Thank you.

Basically to "deploy" Django + React app, you need to use webpack on your react project, then you store react webpacked scripts in your staticfiles directory in django. Then, you define a view that returns index.html with attached scripts {% static 'reactscripts.js' %}. Thats basically all if you want to combine theese two on simple project.

I hope thats the answer you're looking for.

[edit] Also if you would like to deploy your project (after you've figured everything out), this article may help you to do so https://mattsegal.dev/django-spa-infrastructure.html
