Proxy inside package.json must be a string react issue

Question

When I run npm start it throws this error:

Here is how it looks inside package.json:

"private": true,
  "proxy": {
    "api/v1/*": {
      "target": "localhost:4444"
    }
  },
  "dependencies": {...

How can this be fixed? What is wrong?

try adding

'http://' 
 "proxy": {
    "api/v1/*": {
      "target": "http://localhost:4444"
    }
  },

to your pacakge.json file

The support of specifying the different paths in the package.json was dropped in create-react-app v2. To also support this functionality, you have to use a setupProxy.js.

For more information checkout the documentation here:
