New Update to Seed API Proxy Added
Hello all,
if any of you are using the seed feel free to update to the newest version, I have added the ability to proxy your api locally without the need to deal with CORS.
its a simple configuration change on your part,
just download the seed, run npm install and configure your proxy settings
All you do is open gulp.js and change the following information
gulp.task('browser-sync', function() {
var proxyOptions = url.parse('https://www.someserver.com/api'); //This points the local folder to a remote location to get data
proxyOptions.route = '/api';//This is the local pointer to your api
browserSync({
server: {
baseDir: "../public",
middleware: [ Proxy(proxyOptions), historyApiFallback() ]
}
});
});
The URL is the location of your api server
The Folder is the local call you would make to get your API
so if your api call was
www.someserver.com/api/users/get/1/
then you could now write it
/api/users/get/1/
and the local system would send the request out to the server and make it look like you were coming from your local enviroment .
this way you don't have to write code or change your path location when going from a local development enviroment to a remote one.
Cheers.
