I have an Express API that I'm sending requests to from a React front end.



router.get("/", (req, res, next) => {
res.set({ "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*" });
Todo.find({}).then(todos => res.json({ todos }));
});


I have a proxy call in my package.json on the client side:



"proxy": "http://localhost:8080",


From the front end action I'm sending a request to the API



export const getTodos = () => {
return function(dispatch) {
axios
.get("/api/crudify")
.then(res =>
dispatch({
type: GET_TODOS,
payload: res.data.todos
})
)
.catch(err => console.log(err));
};
};


Everything seems to work fine, but randomly my console will give me a Proxy error, which causes the server to respond with a 500



Proxy Error



If I save and refresh the error goes away, than comes back a short time later. Anybody have any insight on this one?

  • If your Express server is behind the proxy, you don't need the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. Don't you want the Express route to be router.get("/crudify", ... );?

    I set the route location on the app side (outside of the express router) 'app.use("/api/crudify", todos);', I will try removing the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, thanks

  • Just an update, removing the header didn't solve the issue.

The issue I was having was nodemon was refreshing the node server and it was having a conflict with the front end React app, so adding --ignore frontend/ in my package.json seems to have fixed it.



"server": "nodemon server --ignore frontend"
