Faced issues with API calls during Development
To tell the React development server to proxy any unknown requests to your node API server in development, you can add a proxy field to your client package.json, for example:
"proxy": "http://localhost:5000"
which will redirect all traffic to node API and not REACT Development URL.
This way, when you fetch('/api/articles') in development, the development server will recognize that it’s not a static asset, and will proxy your request to http://localhost:5000/api/articles as a fallback.
You might face a challenge using http:// instead of https://. Not adding the s to it might cause a problem when calling API.
I did try the proxy option then but was not working for me. But works in my new projects. I am happy to assign this issue to you if you are interested to solve :grinning:
@ogeobubu Still got the same error.
Proxy error: Could not proxy request /favicon.ico from localhost:3000 to http://localhost:5000.`
