Library integration
Add a Backend & CMS to a React Website
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. VibeBackend gives a React single-page app a hosted CMS, forms and lead tracking, fetched at runtime from a token-authenticated Content API so non-technical users can edit content without touching the code.
How VibeBackend connects to React
Call the Content API from your data layer (for example in a loader or a fetch effect) using your read token. Hooks and components in a dedicated React SDK are on the roadmap; until then, use the REST Content API.
Who it's for
React developers who want editable content and a form backend without standing up and maintaining their own server and database.
What's supported
- Runtime content fetching from any React app
- Draft, publish and unpublish workflow in the dashboard
- Form submissions via the forms API
- Roles and permissions for editors and clients
Setup process
- 1Connect your site in the VibeBackend dashboard to get a site ID and read token.
- 2Call the REST Content API from your data-fetching layer.
- 3Render the returned pages and content in your React components.
- 4Wire your forms to the token-authenticated submission endpoint.
Common questions
- Can VibeBackend work with React?
- Yes. Any React app can fetch published content from the VibeBackend REST Content API. A React SDK with hooks and components is on the roadmap; the REST API works today.
- Where should I put my read token in a React app?
- Use the browser-safe public read token for public content. Keep any server-only credentials out of client code; sensitive keys belong on a server or serverless function.
