I am using http-proxy-middleware to send my form data from React front end to Express server,
but http-proxy-middleware doesn't seem to work.
It should proxy to localhost://5000.
Instead throws an error:
POST http://localhost:3000/api/sendMail 404 (Not Found) .
front end code:
import React, { Component } from "react";
import axios from "axios";
class EmailForm extends Component {
state = {
name: "",
email: ""
};
handleSubmit = async e => {
e.preventDefault();
const data = {
name: this.state.name,
email: this.state.email
};
console.log(data);
axios.post("/api/sendMail", data);
};
handleChange = e => {
this.setState({
[e.target.id]: e.target.value
});
};
render() {
return (
<div className="container mt-3">
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<h4 className="grey-text text-darken-3">Send Email</h4>
<div className="form-group">
<label htmlFor="email">Name</label>
<input
className="form-control"
type="text"
id="name"
onChange={this.handleChange}
/>
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
<input
className="form-control"
type="email"
id="email"
onChange={this.handleChange}
/>
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<button className="btn btn-danger">SendMeEmail</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
);
}
}
export default EmailForm;
setupProxy.js:
const proxy = require("http-proxy-middleware");
module.exports = function(app) {
app.use(proxy("/api", { target: "http://localhost:5000/" }));
};
Server.js :
app.post("/api/sendMail", (req, res) => {
console.log(req.body);
});
