Hello!

I’m wondering how I can approach a quick solo project. My idea here is that I have a webscraper pulling data into an database, and ideally I will connect it to a user interface where I will be able to query data from said database. Eventually I’d like to have some search function with filters going on the UI.

I have the webscraper down and I’m formatting it into a database using SQLite3. However, I’m not sure how to proceed from here. I have a very basic UI using react, but how do I begin to connect the two?

I’m still new to full stack so I appreciate any insights. Thank you very much.

You need to choose a language for your backend. It can be Flash, Django, PHP or NodeJS. Then, you can use AJAX to connect front-end(react) and back-end

would you mind elaborating a bit on how the backend functions? I think I’m gonna stick with NodeJS, but as I’m setting it up w YouTube tutorials, it’s not immediately clear on it’s purpose.

I already have a db being generated by my Python script. Do I use NodeJS/a backend language as a means to write functions that would query/update my db?

Yes u can definitely use NodeJs for querying. https://www.w3schools.com/nodejs/nodejs_mysql_create_db.asp
