Is there a React-Redux course or workshop, with connection to a database as an example?

I have went through hours and hours of content, but I have yet to find a valid example of how we can use React-Redux with a database, and it can be any kind of database.

The main purpose is to know how are the code and folders structured in such a way that its scalable and a good standard practice for projects.

Will appreciate if anybody can share any information on this as well. Thanks!

So there is a react redux course which walks through converting a react project to run with redux. However, since react-redux is a client side application it cant directly interface with a database. You need a back end to request and retrieve data from a database. Theres a great course walking through building an api with express and mongodb. You woyld then cobsume that api with your react-redux app. The course will not walk you through that specifically but its not too difficult. I built a simple blog posting app which uses react on the client side and then stores and requests data from a mongo database through an express rest api. Once you know how to build an api its fairly simple to access it with whatever client side framework you want to use.
