❔ Connect Windows Applications to my React tsx website
I need help with windows app and web app. Namely, I have a vending machine that has several functionalities (such as ejecting a card, inserting a card, digital signature). Along with the vending machine, I also received a C# Windows applications for the mentioned functionalities.
What my task is is to connect Windows Applications to my React tsx website, where the click of a button will launch the resulting Windows applications.
Since I'm a junior developer, and I don't have much experience in this topic, I'm wondering if it's possible to do this, and if so, what's the best way?

You need some kind of API that React app could call. It can be hosted locally ASP project that will handle the request from React app. You could use Topshelf to run it as a service.
Or you could extend windows application to expose some endpoints locally. It would require to install some nugets to handle requests.
