How to Integrate a Rails Backend into a JavaScript Web Application

When it came to learning web development, JavaScript gave me the hardest time, despite being less complicated compared to other web frameworks like React. Learning how to incorporate database information is incredibly important for making a website flow properly, especially if the website requires user data and any other information that is saved to a user or the web application overall.

In contrast to React where the information pulled from an API is manipulated based on the code written directly in React, with a JS application, manipulating database information is determined by the Ruby code written within your controller files. In React, the controller files in your Ruby-based backend are used for CRUD -that is Create Read Update and Delete - the essential actions for a web application.
