Angular CORS request blocked

Question

I am trying to connect my Angular app with a simple REST server on express. The server only sends json data in reply to request. To add CORS suppor

Answer 1

In case you are using angular-cli, you can use a proxy:

proxy.conf.json:

{
  "/api": {
    "target": "http://localhost:8888",
    "secure": false
  }
}

Will redirect all requests with /api prefix to localhost:8888 without any cors issue.
