javascript proxy server

readme.md

Here is a quick and dirty workaround if you need to run your dev app on domains other than localhost :

1. Install concurrently and http-proxy

yarn add concurrently http-proxy || npm install --save-dev concurrently http-proxy

2. Add proxy-server.js

var http = require('http');
var httpProxy = require('http-proxy');

httpProxy.createServer({
  changeOrigin: true,
  hostRewrite: true,
  autoRewrite: true,
  ws: true,
  target: 'http://localhost:3000'
}).listen(process.env.PORT || 8080);

3. Replace the start script in your package.json by this

{
  // ...
  "scripts": {
    "start": "concurrently \"node proxy-server.js\" \"PORT=3000 react-scripts start\"",
    // ...
