Hi - Does anyone here has any experience in building a React/Node app that read writes data and is hosted within NetSuite via a Suitelet?

I've done this several times. I have a sample repo that demonstrates a react application running as a suitelet with a restlet backend for the API. This repo is pretty old, but you should still be able to build it and deploy it manually. I wouldn't try following the installation instructions in the readme. I'm not sure they'll work today. https://github.com/datatek-software/netsuite-react-order-entry Also, the bundle mentioned isn't available. Someone else asked for this last week. I'll see if I can redo that bundle this weekend so this demo is very easy to install. I worked for a NetSuite partner that used this model for mobile interfaces for warehouse operations. The react/suitelet model works really well.

Thanks so much Mike. This is super helpful. I will check it out.

I just updated the bundle in my dev account if you want to see an example of this repo, you can install bundle 454287 from DataTek Software. After installation, go to Transactions > Sales > React Order Entry.

Amazing! Thanks Mike.

I second this approach (though we choose Angular over React).

Also, don't necessarily even need a suitelet to 'host' - and indeed for some use cases full screen control is better.
