8080 – Port where backend is hosted 4200 – my Angular2 frontend

In My Angular2 project i have file proxy.config.json with content like this

{
  "/api": {
  "target": "http://localhost:8080",
  "secure": false,
  "changeOrigin": "true",
  "pathRewrite": {"^/api": ""}
 }
}

In Angular2 package.json I changed start procedure to "start": "ng serve --proxy-config proxy.config.json" When I type inside commander npm start then at the start I can see Proxy created: /api -> http://localhost:8080. Well, so far is good I guess.

I’m trying to send a request (Angular2)

  constructor(private http: Http) {
    this.getUsers();
  }

  getUsers(): any {
    return this.http.get("/api/getusers")
      .subscribe(response => {
        console.log(response);
      })
  }

I’m getting an error that http://localhost:4200/api/getusers 404 (Not Found). As we can see, nothing has been proxied. Why? Did I do something wrong?

Console output of visual studio code is

have you tried with full URL localhost:4200/api/getusers instead of /api/getusers – isuruAb
my backend is hosted at localhost:8080/api thats why i am using proxy setting, and localhost:8080/api/getusers working fine. – DanzerZoneJS
what is the console output ? – isuruAb
I have added console output in question – DanzerZoneJS
Did you get the solution ? – TAB

I have tried this way. my proxy.conf.json file is like this:

{
  "/api": {
    "target": "http://localhost:8080",
    "secure": false,
    "changeOrigin": "true",
    "pathRewrite": {"^/api": ""}
  }
}

and I have replaced "start": "ng serve" with this "start": "ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json" in package.json

my app.component.ts file is like this:

  constructor(private http: Http) {
    this.getUsers();
  }

  getUsers(): any {
    return this.http.get("http://localhost:4200/api/getusers")
      .subscribe(response => {
        console.log(response);

      })
  }

in my API it provides set of user from http://localhost:8080/getusers URL

json doesn't work in my project, but in JS works.

Example: proxy.conf.js file

const PROXY_CONFIG = [
   {
    context: ['/api'],
    target: 'http://localhost:8080/',
    secure: false,
    logLevel: 'debug',
    pathRewrite: {'^/api' : ''}
  }
];
module.exports = PROXY_CONFIG;

In package.json :

...
  "scripts": {
    "ng": "ng",
    "start": "ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.js", //this line
    "build": "ng build",
    "test": "ng test",
    "lint": "ng lint",
    "e2e": "ng e2e"
  },
...

In service.ts:

use this URL: '/api/getusers'

Finally you shuld to start with:

npm start

Try

{ "/api/*": { "target": "http://localhost:8080", "secure": false } }

Use this, it's working fine.

{
  "/api/*": {
    "target": "https://172.16.2.10",
    "secure": false,
    "pathRewrite": {
      "^/api/*": ""
    },
    "changeOrigin": true
  }
}
