Customise ng serve to proxy calls to /api?
You can indeed setup a proxy to backend with the angular cli, with the --proxy-config flag.
Here is more or less a copy-paste from the documentation:
Say we have a server running on http://localhost:3000/api and we want all calls to http://localhost:4200/api to go to that server.
We create a file next to projects
package.jsoncalledproxy.conf.jsonwith the content{ "/api": { "target": "http://localhost:3000", "secure": false } }[...]
and then we edit the
package.jsonfile's start script to be"start": "ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json"and run it with
npm start
