Setting views and view engine properly to use Reactjs in the frontend - node.js

How do I set the viewsand view engine properly in order to write my frontend with Reactjs?
I'm using nodejs with express, and I want to use React in the frontend and not ejs or pug. Do I have to set up anything?

I thinks you should research about server side rendering and nextjs

React Authentication using Node Passport

I'm trying to create a simple authentication app using React (from vite) and express. I have my node app, and my react login/signup set, but when I try to login or signup, my react app keeps requesting to itself (localhost:3000) instead of my backend (localhost:5000). I set a "proxy" in my react package.json but it doesn't change anything. I tried to set a variable with my backend link and it worked, but is it a good practice ?

How do I use ReactJs with an existing project that uses EJS Express Mongodb as stack?

The file structure is based on sailsjs structure, we don't use sailsjs though, this is how it looks like:
Stack used is : EJS Express/Node MongoDb.
I want to move a certain page from ejs to ReactJS and also implement Webpack with it.
Is there a way I can convert this into a react app, or simply use react with ejs ?
You can use try react cdn links as script tags.

Is there a way to server side render react app?

I was using html and css before without using frontend framework but now I use Reactjs and I wanted to know how to server side render pages in this way with html:
const app = express();
app.get("/",function(req,res){
res.render("page");
});
Use Next.js light weight framework of react, contains rendering through server-side / client side pages, create dynamic page ,support server and server less target and webpack ,babel configuration, etc.

Can React-Router point directly to a route defined with Express instead of rendering a component?

How I can use React-Router to point directly to a route defined with Express on the backend instead of rendering a component? I want to return valid JSON with no HTML included in the response.
React-Router only handles routing on the React frontend.
There is no way for React-Router to point to an Express Route on the back end.
A React component would have to use that API endpoint.
Why not just hit the endpoint manually.
