connection arduino to react js through local aREST

how can i connect my arduino to react js through a Rest link.Before that I need to create the react application connected with PostgreSQL that SQL data should collected to my arduino with ESP8266

2

There is a library that may be of some interest - https://arest.io/arest-arduino-2-0-1

Since you have n't given much detail I can't say if it will help you or not.

i need to connect to local db and local server not cloud aREST.
how can i communicate with esp to local server.
example:
over view of the project:
1.i need to create the express js(server) application connected with local PostgreSQL.
2.By the arduino and ESP i need to take the data from the local db through the server link.
3.By that data i need to calculate it and sent to the server page again.
I think that now you can understand what i am thinking.

How to tracking live location using wifis or esps by using RSSI.
i need to take the connected devices data from db and make calculation and send to local express server by that server we can make the design and track the live location of the person.
my hole project is in local server.

i haired that aREST mean that local server URL.

and another query, that how can i code in arduino to connect the local server by using server url .

Here's how i connect the arduino to my server, update a database and disconnect:
// Connect to the server, open PHP datalogger page, send data, disconnect.
void writeInputsPhp(String outPort, byte value) {
if (client.connect("192.168.1.100", 7634)) {
client.print( "GET /datalogger/inputlogger.php?data1=");
client.print(outPort);
client.print( "&&data2=");
client.println(value);
client.println( "Connection: close" );
client.println();
client.println();
client.stop();
}
}

At the server there is a php script that writes the data to the database

Also, not sure what your point about cloud aREST is about. The aREST library is an Arduino library that allows a simple API to operate between an Arduino and a client

Thank you for replay.if my arduino want to connect to local server ,i want to use aREST library for that?
which library i want to use to connect to local server.
and
how to do in arduino that after calculated i need to publish in to server.

At the server there is a php script that writes the data to the database

i am using the java script is it ok.

A server allows clients to connect so your arduino acts as a client and the server responds to the arduino. That's why in the snippet above the arduino makes a client connection to the server to send its data to the server. You only need the Ethernet library for that. And you start a client instance like so:
EthernetClient client; // Start the client with DHCP

The client then makes the above get call to the server url. Can you post your code if you would like further help?

    i need to post ssid,distance and user esp name to server
    it will generate the equation and give the position of the user
    is the above code will run successfully?
