I have a simple webapplication with an Angular frontend and Javascript backend component.
I deployed the backend as azure app services, made it private and used an application gateway to route requests to the backend API's. So whenever i access the application gateway public ip, i can reach the backend api's
What I am trying to achieve is :
I deployed my frontend (which is basically displaying a table with names and ages from backend APIs) also as a public app service. Now i want my frontend to access the backend app service via the application gateway so that the frontend UI displays the data (tables) from the backend.
How should can i achieve this??

It depends on a few requirements you may (or may not) have
If your front end app AND other apps (and those apps are public) need to access the APIs surfaced through your App GW then you can keep the App GW and either
*VNET integrate the App Service for the front end and access the APIs via the App Gateway internal interface (so setup a listener for the internal interface)
Or
*Just connect using the existing App GW public interface - then the front end web app doesnt need to be VNET integratedIf it's ONLY the front end web app that needs to access the backend APIs and If you're not using the WAF policy and if the App GW isnt doing any re-writing etc, then you can remove the App GW , VNET integrate the front end web app and then you can access the backends directly without a proxy (the App GW) in the middle

From your verbatim,
- I see you mentioned "whenever i access the application gateway public ip, i can reach the backend api's"
- Isn't that your requirement?
That is,
- Are you looking for guidance on how to configure the "frontend" App Service to access a Public IP (Application gateway)
- Or are you facing any issues with networking/connectivity?
Cheers,
Kapil
