Angular json query - should cors need to be used? Kindly let me know since I am new to Angular, I have very little knowledge

Question

I am receiving an error as below - kindly let me know what needs to be done? Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'file:///C:/Usersest1srcdatabase.json' from origin 'http://localhost:4200' has been blocked by CORS policy: Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https.

Answer 1

You probably need to serve your app from a web server, if not already. You can do that via:

1. http-server
2. nginx (preferably docker)
3. Web server for chrome

Could be a duplicate: AngularJS Error: Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome-extension, https

And if you are already serving it from a web server, try reading that file using file reader and not via API call.
