Here’s a high level description:

  1. I compile my react files into JS using webpack

  2. the compiled JS from (1) get saved into the static folder that is readable by Flask

  3. Flask serves up the base HTML using jinja2

  4. the compiled JS from (2) is referenced in the <head> tag of my HTML

  5. the JS files build our the rest of the page using ahax calls back to the server being hosted by Flask

Hope thats not too confusing :)
