Proxy configuration did not working with angular CLI
8080 – Port where backend is hosted 4200 – my Angular2 frontend
In My Angular2 project i have file proxy.config.json with content like this
{
"/api": {
"target": "http://localhost:8080",
"secure": false,
"changeOrigin": "true",
"pathRewrite": {"^/api": ""}
}
}
In Angular2 package.json I changed start procedure to "start": "ng serve --proxy-config proxy.config.json"
When I type inside commander npm start then at the start I can see Proxy created: /api -> http://localhost:8080. Well, so far is good I guess.
I’m trying to send a request (Angular2)
constructor(private http: Http) {
this.getUsers();
}
getUsers(): any {
return this.http.get("/api/getusers")
.subscribe(response => {
console.log(response);
})
}
I’m getting an error that http://localhost:4200/api/getusers 404 (Not Found). As we can see, nothing has been proxied. Why? Did I do something wrong?
Console output of visual studio code is

Answer
I have tried this way. my proxy.conf.json file is like this:
{
"/api": {
"target": "http://localhost:8080",
"secure": false,
"changeOrigin": "true",
"pathRewrite": {"^/api": ""}
}
}
and I have replaced "start": "ng serve" with this "start": "ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json" in package.json
my app.component.ts file is like this:
constructor(private http: Http) {
this.getUsers();
}
getUsers(): any {
return this.http.get("http://localhost:4200/api/getusers")
.subscribe(response => {
console.log(response);
})
}
in my API it provides set of user from http://localhost:8080/getusers URL
