Possible to use "localhost/example.com" instead of "localhost:8080"?

I'm trying to build a project management app that uses React and Wordpress.

The React app works fine on localhost:8080, but I need it to actually run with the Wordpress site at "localhost/example.com" because I need to be able to create posts, etc.

The React files are located inside my Example Theme directory.

A port can be part of a path, such as: "localhost:8080/example.com". But it would be most unusual to have a web resource that ends in ".com".

My local Wordpress install runs at localhost/example.com, so I want Webpack to run the build in the same place. I guess I'm just confused about what needs to happen.
