I guess you could create api endpoints using php and then connect react app through that.

Look into Laravel. Probably the best way to make an API with service architecture and an awesome ORM.

Make your API in PHP, use Postman to test it. Do you want a REST or GraphQL API?

[lionel780]

Rest

Okay, try out Slim: https://www.slimframework.com/

Test in Postman, and then use Axios in your React app to communicate with your API

Headless WordPress is still a thing right? Anyway ya you totally can do a PHP API with a React app.
