Make sure your routes.php file is built like

I have done as follows Please what is wrong in my code.

```auto
  RouteBuilder::scope('/ContactDetails/add', function (RouteBuilder $routes) {
    // Prior to 3.5.0 use `extensions()`
            $routes->setExtensions(['json']);
            $routes->resources('ContactDetails');
         });

```

I got an error non-static method cake\Routing\RouteBuilder::scope() cannot be called statically.

Don’t call `RouteBuilder::scope` which is a static method.  
Wrap your routes (like the example file) so you always have an object

```auto
return static function (RouteBuilder $routes) {

    $routes->setRouteClass(DashedRoute::class);
    $routes->scope('/', function (RouteBuilder $builder) {
        $builder->scope('/ContactDetails/add', function (RouteBuilder $routes) {
            $routes->setExtensions(['json']);
            $routes->resources('ContactDetails');
        });
        $builder->fallbacks();
    });

};

```

I follow the same as you mentioned code but i got the error. remove following code

```auto
->add(new CsrfProtectionMiddleware([
                'httponly' => true,
            ]))

```

I need the react app post data to my cakephp app so that i can store data but i got above error.

You need to add e.g.

- a `X-CSRF-Token` HTTP header to your HTTP requests from react which contains the value from the `_csrfToken` hidden input
- if its a form you submit via POST you can also just add that `_csrfToken` value as part of the submitted data

See [CSRF Protection - 4.x](https://book.cakephp.org/4/en/security/csrf.html#csrf-protection-and-ajax-requests)

But that has nothing to do with your initial problem.
