Proxy Doesnt work from Config.json

[dukesx]

Hi, i am trying to proxy my node sever present on localhost:5000 to razzle , so that it can work in production but it seems that if i add
"proxy": "http://localhost:5000" in the package.json
it doesnt work , just picks the client side only. Am i doing something wrong or is there a work around ?

I have the same question.

@ilyjs, I found a workaround. So I found out that I guess razzle is quite different needs config in express server to make the proxy work. Here's how I figured an easier way :

I installed CORS in my backend server and used it as :

npm i cors
Then in my main server file I do this :
Const express = require ('express') Const cors = require ('cors') ; Const server = express ( ) //this is where I make it use CORS server.use(cors);

In client side now I just use fetch or axios but using localhost:PORT/api or etc to do it. It's not that convenient but it's a good work around :)

To all those with the question , just move to create react app for SPA and next JS for server side. Razzle is good but doesn't have all the answers

I already tried next js, I'm trying a lot of things now.

Got the same issue, but, Create react app is using http-proxy-middleware, so just install that package and add the following code to server.js file:

const server = express()
.disable('x-powered-by')
.use('/api',proxy({ target: 'http://www.example.org', changeOrigin: true })
.....

this is a good thing to have let's add this to the next version of razzle

But I think this will be specific for each app. Imagine you want multiple proxy urls. But we could supply a example on how to do it.

Or add setupProxy.js like cra.
