Run your backend on a different port. If your running on express modify the file bin/www

var port = process.env.PORT || 9000

and in your /src folder create a config file where you configure your api host,routes, params etc

//config/index.js
export const Config = {
   protocol: 'http',
   host: window.location.hostname, //or the environment variable
   params: '/api/',
   api: {post:'/posts/'}
}

and in your calling component or where ever your calling the api's

import {Config} from '../config'

axios.get(`${Config.protocol}${Config.host}${Config.params}${Config.api.posts}${some id i guess}`)
