This project demonstrates how you can incorporate a DevExpress Dashboard component into a client-side app built with React. Use it as a template when you need to create a similar web application.
The example uses a modular client-server approach. The server (backend) project communicates with the client (frontend) application that includes all the necessary styles, scripts and HTML templates. Note that the script version on the client must match the version of libraries on the server.
- The asp-net-core-server folder contains the backend project that targets .NET 6.
- The dashboard-react-app folder contains the client application built with React.
In the asp-net-core-server folder run the following command:
dotnet run
The server starts at http://localhost:5000 and the client gets data from http://localhost:5000/api/dashboard. To debug the server, run the asp-net-core-server application in Visual Studio and change the client's endpoint property according to the listening port: https://localhost:44307/api/dashboard.

This server allows CORS requests from all origins with any scheme (http or https). This default configuration is insecure: any website can make cross-origin requests to the app. We recommend that you specify the client application's URL to prohibit other clients from accessing sensitive information stored on the server.

In the dashboard-react-app folder, run the following commands:
npm install
npm start
Open http://localhost:3000/ in your browser to see the result.
