Cannot fetch between Express and React apps due to CORS
I encourage you to do app.use(cors()); before those lines
app.disable('x-powered-by');app.use(function(req, res, next) { // Website you wish to allow to connectres.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', 'http://localhost:8080');...Express stacks those functions lets say as a "array" and because of that the order matters
Hope it resolve your problem.
Bit late to the party but just going to leave my answer here incase someone else has the same problem.
The idea is to allow CORS request to your Express server. Go to the directory with your server.js file and run:
npm install corsThen inside server.js add the following lines:
const cors = require('cors');app.use(cors());
