I have an Angular 6 project, which has a service with is pointing to a server.js
Angular is on port: 4200 and Server.js is on port: 3000.
When I point the service to http://localhost:3000/api/posts
(Server.js location), I'm getting this error:
Failed to load http://localhost:3000/api/posts: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:4200' is therefore not allowed access.
Here is the server.js code:
// Get dependencies const express = require('express'); const path = require('path'); const http = require('http'); const bodyParser = require('body-parser'); // Get our API routes const api = require('./server/routes/api'); const app = express(); // Parsers for POST data app.use(bodyParser.json()); app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false })); // Point static path to dist app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'dist'))); // Set our api routes app.use('/api', api); // Catch all other routes and return the index file app.get('*', (req, res) => { res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'dist/myproject/index.html')); }); /** * Get port from environment and store in Express. */ const port = process.env.PORT || '3000'; app.set('port', port); /** * Create HTTP server. */ const server = http.createServer(app); /** * Listen on provided port, on all network interfaces. */ server.listen(port, () => console.log(`API running on localhost:${port}`));
My question is:
How to I get server.js to allow this call?
