React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces and Wix is a popular website builder. So, can you use React with Wix?
The answer is yes, but it’s not as simple as just adding React to your Wix site. Wix uses a proprietary code called “Wix Code” to build websites, and this code is not compatible with React. However, there are ways to work around this issue.

One way to use React with Wix is to create a React app and host it on a server outside of Wix. Then, you can embed the app on your Wix site using an iframe.

First, React is a third-party library, which means that it is not supported by Wix. This means that if something goes wrong, you will not be able to get help from Wix.

This means that there is a greater chance that using React with Wix could result in security vulnerabilities or other problems.

So, if you want to use React with Wix, there are two main options: either host your React app on a server outside of Wix or use a third-party tool like react-wix-wrapper. Both approaches have their pros and cons, so it’s up to you to decide which one is right for your project.
