I have written a redux application which I am running locally using webpack-dev-server. (port 8080). I am trying to connect to a web service which is running locally at port 9000.
My code to connect to the web service is as follows
return fetch(`http://localhost:9000/movies/${dimensionName.toLowerCase()}list`)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(json =>
dispatch(receivedDimensionAttributesSuccess(dimensionName, json))
)
.catch(error =>
dispatch(receivedDimensionAttributesError(dimensionName, error))
);
This receives an error
Fetch API cannot load http://localhost:9000/movies/yearlist. No 'Access-
Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin
'http://localhost:8080' is therefore not allowed access. If an opaque response
serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource
with CORS disabled.
I googled for the problem and found this thread
Access Control Allow Origin header not present with fetch api call
but I don't like the solution which involved switching to a different library/middleware altogether.
How can I solve the problem with the isomorphic fetch library.
