# Step 6: Proxy
|
|
|
|
You passed `--frontendProject=todos` when creating the node application. What did that argument do?
|
|
|
|
It created a proxy configuration that allows the Angular application to talk to the API in development.
|
|
|
|
**To see how it works, open `angular.json` and find the `serve` target of the todos app.**
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"serve": {
|
|
"builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:dev-server",
|
|
"options": {
|
|
"browserTarget": "todos:build",
|
|
"proxyConfig": "apps/todos/proxy.conf.json"
|
|
},
|
|
"configurations": {
|
|
"production": {
|
|
"browserTarget": "todos:build:production"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note the `proxyConfig` property.**
|
|
|
|
**Now open `proxy.conf.json`:**
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"/api": {
|
|
"target": "http://localhost:3333",
|
|
"secure": false
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This configuration tells `nx serve` to forward all requests starting with `/api` to the process listening on port 3333.
|
|
|
|
!!!!!
|
|
Now run both "nx serve todos" and "nx serve api" in separate terminals, open http://localhost:4200. What do you see
|
|
!!!!!
|
|
Todos application is working!
|
|
404 in the console
|
|
Todos are displayed but the Add Todo button doesn't work
