I am trying to fetch some data from the development server using React.
I am running the client on localhost:3001
and the backend on port 3000
.
The fetch request :
const laina = fetch('/api/users');
laina.then((err,res) => {
console.log(res);
})
When I run my development server and webpack-dev-server I get the following output:
GET http://localhost:3001/api/users 404 (Not Found)
I tried specifying the proxy in the package.json so it would proxy the request to the API server, however nothing has changed.
Here is my package.json file:
Please tell me, if you need to see anything else from my project. I apologies, if I'm missing something and not being thorough, I'm still quite new to using these technologies.
You can modify your fetch request API url to give the complete hostname since
fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/users')
also make sure that you have CORS
enabled on your backend
In case your want to redirect through webpack, your can try devServer.proxy
as
devServer: {
inline: true,
contentBase: './dist',
port: 3001,
proxy: { "/api/**": { target: 'http://localhost:3000', secure: false } }
}
