Call Node.js Script from React component

   const pythonProcess = spawn('python',["tiqi.py", "textFile.txt"]);
    
        pythonProcess.stdout.on('data',(data)=>{
            console.log(data.toString());
        })

Can I call and run that code by clicking a component button in my react project?

Short answer: No. But other Node-based functions can be invoked using Browserify.

Refer to this link: https://github.com/browserify/browserify/issues/1816

You cannot use node-based functions in a browser environment, to do such a thing in a proper way you should build an HTTP/HTTPS API for your react application and make requests from react to your API.

You can go through by googling building a simple node server based on express, and output your python script results in maybe .json file which you'll read with node (which will be sent on request from your react application).

Hope my answer will help you a bit.
