I'm making a multi-pages app with React Router and I'm using Node for the backend. Node is working on the port 3000 and React on the port 3001. I have set up a proxy in package.json of the front-end(React). My API is reachable on localhost:3000/api/ So my get or post from the frontend(port:3001) with axios look like this:
axios.post('api/login/',{data........})
It is working perfectly from a parent path like /item or /example http://localhost:3001/xxxxxx/ ... I can reach my /api/login on port 3000.
But from a subpath like http://localhost:3001/another/ex/ or http://localhost:3001/xxxxxx/example/ ... I see in the console the get or post request is sent to http://localhost:3001/xxxxxx/example/api/login In those cases, the proxy doesn't redirect properly.
I have found the solution to avoid sub path but I would like to know what exactly is happening and what is the solutions?
Thanks in advance for your help!
<Router history={history}>
<NavBar history={history} refresh={this.state.refresh}/>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" render={(props) => <MainPage history=
{history} />}/>
<Route exact path="/item" history={history} component=
{ComponentX1} />
<Route exact path="/example" history={history} component=
{ComponentX2} />
<Route exact path='/another/ex' history={history} component=
{ComponentY1}/>
<Route exact path='/xxxxxx/example' history={history} component=
{ComponentY2}/>
</Switch>
<Footer/>
</Router>
I would like to understand what is happening.
