  You could take a look at the [Element API](https://github.com/craftcms/element-api) to help bridge the gap between your React front-end and your Craft back-end. That will at least help you with getting data out of Craft.
  
  As far as creating new pages and modules you'd use Craft's Control Panel (CP). You're going to have to take a look at the [Craft Documentation](https://craftcms.com/docs) in particular [Sections & Entries](https://craftcms.com/docs/sections-and-entries).

  Piggy-backing off of the other answers here, using GraphQL via the [CraphQL plugin](https://github.com/markhuot/craftql) is a really nice option, because you don't have to build your own ElementAPI via PHP. You just install the plugin, and away you go.
