I'm currently using Twilio to receive SMS messages on my server. I need to display the return data in React. Twilio only sends the data server side through a POST request. If I send a text from my phone. The Twilio POST request will be send the data to my server. How can I get the POST data sent to my React app? The below code is how I receive the data from Twilio.

app.post('/sms', (req, res) => {

var msgFrom = req.body.From;
var msgBody = req.body.Body;})

yes you can and there are two ways:

1- you can use the the HTTP regular request model, you can achieve this by sending a request checking for updates and if there is what and update the front end.

2- long polling or streams sockets to emit the data to your applications from the back end.
