how to integrate react application with filemaker server as backend

My job has tasked me to create a login page with username, password, reset password, sign in and sign up. When you login you are sent to a landing page. All should be done with react but i have to use filemaker server as a backend that stores usernames and passwords in a database. I've never used filemaker before and i don't know where to start. Any advise will be appreciated

Solution

  • Use Filemaker Data Api: https://help.claris.com/en/data-api-guide/

    1. Login call to get the token
    2. Make a POST request to {yourServerUrl}/fmi/data/version/databases/{database-name}/layouts/{layout-name}/records

    to write the new record into the database.
