Building Your Own ML-React App: A Step-by-Step Guide

Sep 23, 2021 | Data Science

Are you ready to harness the power of machine learning in your React applications? With the ML-React-App template, you can easily set up a React app that connects to machine learning endpoints for making predictions. In this blog post, we will explore how to use this template and provide tips for troubleshooting along the way.

What is the ML-React-App Template?

The ML-React-App serves as a foundational template for developing a web application using React that can make use of various machine learning models. By leveraging this template, you can streamline the development process, allowing you to focus on crafting an engaging user experience while efficiently fetching predictions from pre-trained models.

Getting Started

To start building your ML-React app, follow these steps:

  • Clone the Repository: Get a copy of the ML-React-App by cloning it from the repository. Use the following command in your terminal:
  • git clone [repository-url]
  • Change Directory: Navigate into your cloned project directory to access all the necessary files:
  • cd ML-React-App
  • Install Dependencies: Run npm or yarn to install the required packages:
  • npm install
  • Start the Application: Launch the app in your browser using the following command:
  • npm start

Understanding the Code

Let’s break down the functionality of this app using an analogy. Imagine your ML-React app is like a restaurant. The front-end (React) acts as the dining area where customers (users) place their orders. The kitchen, which is where your backend with machine learning models resides, prepares the food (predictions) based on the orders (input data) received from the dining area. Finally, the waitstaff carries the food from the kitchen back to the customers, similar to how your app fetches predictions from endpoints and displays them to the user.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

While building your app, you may encounter some common issues. Here are a few tips to help you troubleshoot:

  • Dependencies Not Installing: If you face issues while installing dependencies, check for outdated Node.js or npm versions. Updating them may resolve the problem.
  • App Not Starting: Ensure that the terminal is in the correct directory and you have run the appropriate commands. Check if another application is using the same port.
  • Fetching Predictions: If your app cannot retrieve predictions, verify that the back-end server is up and running and correctly handling requests.
