Connect React Frontend to Yii Backend

I have a frontend application built with Lovable.dev (React). You can check the live frontend demo here:
https://healix-connect-app.lovable.app/

I also have an existing backend built in Yii framework (PHP). I need a developer to connect the frontend with my Yii backend via a secure API layer.

Scope of Work:

Review the existing frontend (demo above) and backend requirements.

Build REST API endpoints in Yii (login, users, distributors, CRUD operations, role-based access).

Implement secure authentication (preferably JWT).

Enable CORS so the frontend can communicate with backend.

Connect frontend to these APIs using axios/fetch.

Test all user flows (login, create, view, update, delete).

Assist with deployment/configuration (frontend + backend).

Provide clear documentation (API endpoints, request/response examples).

Deliverables:

Working REST API in Yii

Frontend integrated with backend APIs

Secure login & role-based access

Deployed and tested app

Documentation

Skills Required:

Yii (PHP) framework

REST API development

React / frontend integrations

JWT or token-based authentication

Deployment & environment setup (server, domains, configs)

Timeline:
Expected completion within 2–4 weeks (flexible).
