Location Proxy with npm serve

Question

If I'm serving a react application with npm install -g serve; serve -s build, is it possible to also have a location proxy?

Ex: any requests to https://example.com/api/* will be redirected to https://example.com:8000/api/*

Answer 1

You can try proxy in package.json

"proxy": {
    "/api": {
      "target": "http://localhost:3001"
    },
    "/assets": {
      "target": "http://localhost:3001"
    }
  },
