Django & React integration without using an API

Question

Is there anyway to use django and react while keeping the business logic, routing, etc on the django side ? I want to use react for the ui features and the state management but on the other hand i don't like to do the business logic on the front end and just use drf as an api for the data. The way i would imagine it is to render mini react apps instead of django templates but i have no clear way to implement this and i don't even know if it's technically possible. I would like to get some guidance from more experienced developers. Thanks
