I need to deploy react UI application along with my backend rest APIs on weblogic server.
How do I achieve this scenario?
You can package your react app in a jar file and put all the static resources (index.html, javascript, css, etc) under the META-INF/resources/frontend folder of that jar file. You can then add that jar file as a dependency of the war file that contains your backend rest apis. Then when you enter <context_path>/frontend/index.html in a browser, it should serve your reactjs app.

My React is working fine on localhost.
I created the build folder and uploaded the files in it, to the free subdomain hoster "000webhost". But my App is not working there. Which folder do I have to upload? Or do I need special hosters for react?
To host the app on 000webhost, you have to turn the React app into static HTML/CSS/JS files using a build tool and upload the built HTML/CSS/JS files onto 000webhost. Building the app depends on what tool you're using; e.g. if you're using create-react-app, you can refer to this link: https://create-react-app.dev/docs/production-build/
Folder structure on vs code
I have the above file structure. I have used react js inside the laravel framework combined.
It's a brand new project just with react --auth scaffolding inside the laravel project.
I can deploy just the laravel project but don't know how to deploy the react-laravel combined web app. please help
You must build project on your local machine and then upload whole project structure on server. When you build it, it will generate css and especially js files which are key files for your react part. Upload all content and it will work fine.
I'm working on Project using React for the frontend and Laravel for the backend using RESTfull API.
I developed each one in separate directories but now I'm trying to deploy them in the same folder I don't really know what to do.
or can I deploy then each one in their own folder? if yes how can I run them on the same server (apache)?
The directory really shouldn't matter. Since React is a frontend javascript development framework, it runs on the client while the laravel backend will run on the server itself. All you need to do is serve the entry point html and the javascript file created from your react project to the client.
I assume you're thinking about the "development server" that you run while developing the react app. You need to, depending on your build environment, do a production build and serve the files in some way to the client.
When using create react app you can use the deployment build instructions: https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/docs/deployment
So to summarise:
Host your laravel backend on the apache server
Upload entry point html (you can serve this via laravel, create a template with the correct html)
Serve the deployment javascript file for your react app (just include it on the same html page)
I have started to learn React and now I am a bit confused about different parts of development and deployment.
Does all webpages are bild with frameworks like React or Anguler? Or they are used only for one page web applications? Can I serve React with nodejs server?
Does the method when you build static webpage with js, html, css and serving them with Apache web server is still used in modern world?
I would highly suggest using the React-Create-App utility. And yes, you can use Node.js. In fact, React doesn't force you to use any backend framework. I could pick ASP.NET MVC, Node, Spring MVC, Rails, etc.

But this tutorial will guide you through creating react apps in development and creating production builds.
When you build in production, you'll end up with a public folder with html files. But in React, you don't create html files, you create .jsx, which is a combination of html-like React tags with JavaScript. They will get transpiled to html, etc during the production build phase. You can then take the build folder and deploy it on an HTTP server, such as Apache.
I have an express js backend and a react js frontend.
Now i want to serve this as one project.
Is it possible to build a task with webpack, grunt etc. to build the react js first and then move the build to the public folder in express js?
There is! You can serve your static client files (your react app) from your server. I would suggest checking out this article if you want to know how to do so https://originmaster.com/running-create-react-app-and-express-crae-on-heroku-c39a39fe7851
Yes you can. You need to make a production build which will place all files in a directory; let's say "dist" directory. Now you can run express server or any other server (lite-server suggested) and set base directory as "dist" which will run index.html by default and your app will be running in production mode.
