Call Node.js Script from React component

Question

   const pythonProcess = spawn('python',["tiqi.py", "textFile.txt"]);
    
        pythonProcess.stdout.on('data',(data)=>{
            console.log(data.toString());
        })

Can I call and run that code by clicking a component button in my react project?

If this is server-side code then your client-side code would likely make an AJAX request to a server-side resource to invoke the operation. — David

You cannot use node-based functions in a browser environment, to do such a thing in a proper way you should build an HTTP/HTTPS API for your react application and make requests from react to your API.

You can go through by googling building a simple node server based on express, and output your python script results in maybe .json file which you'll read with node (which will be sent on request from your react application).

Hope my answer will help you a bit.

Short answer: No. But other Node-based functions can be invoked using Browserify.

Refer to this link: https://github.com/browserify/browserify/issues/1816
