Requests API in React-boilerplate

I am using the boilerplate on https://github.com/react-boilerplate/react-boilerplate . The problem is that when I'm hitting API's It's returning error 404. I'm not able to get from where it is setting up the host (which is always going localhost). no CORS error is also coming up on browser.

Prior to this I was working on create-react-app, there I simple put a "proxy" property in package.json and everything worked fine.

Today I set up this boilerplate for the first time and I would say it's a lil confusing _:)

Solution

  • You can specify API base url like this:

    const API = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' ? 'http://google.com' : 'http://localhost:5000'

    So in development it will always point to localhost and in production it will point to other your prod server.
