Is there a way to use CRA with a PHP backend?












0















I am trying to set up the CRA environment in a way, so that I can use php files instead of the provided index.html.



Initially, I proxied requests to my MAMP server as it is advised in the CRA-docs, however, I want to do some server-side processing before I run any react file in order to add some <meta/> tags for crawlers which don't have JavaScript enabled. (Note: My main apache server is unable to pre-render any JS files)



Before using react, webpack or CRA I achieved this with gulp-connect-php as the dev server which read from a pre-bundled dist folder and browser-sync for implementing hot-reloading.
