Frontend - Proxy configuration

This setting is required when you want to run an application in a local environment.

To run an application in a local environment and avoid CORS issues, you can set up a proxy configuration. CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is a security mechanism enforced by web browsers that restricts cross-origin requests. By configuring a proxy, you can bypass CORS restrictions during development.

Here are the steps to add a proxy configuration in your project:

1. Check if there is a proxy.conf.json file in the root folder . If the file doesn't exist, create a new file with that name.

2. Open the proxy.conf.json file and add the proxy configuration for your API endpoints. The configuration should be in the following format:

{
  "/registry/api/docs": {
    "target": "https://domain_name/",
    "secure": false,
    "changeOrigin": true,
    "logLevel": "debug"
  }
}

    "target": "https://domain_name/",
    "secure": false,
    "changeOrigin": true,
    "logLevel": "debug"
  }
}

• Replace "/registry/api/docs" with your API path.

• Set the "target" value to the domain name where your APIs are hosted.

• Set "secure" to true if your domain has SSL (HTTPS), or false if it doesn't.

• Set "changeOrigin" to true if your backend is not hosted on the localhost server.

• "logLevel" is used to check whether a proxy is working or not. Proxy log levels are info (the default), debug, warn, error, and silent.

3. In the config.json file, update the values of the baseUrl and schemaUrl properties with http://localhost:4200/.

{
  "environment": "development",
  "keycloak": {
    "url": "https://demo-registry.xiv.in/auth",
    "clientId": "registry-frontend",
    "realm": "sunbirdrc-frontend"
  },
  "configFolder": "/assets/config/ui-config",
  "languageFolder": "/assets/i18n",
  "title": "Application name",
  "baseUrl": "http://localhost:4200/registry/api/v1",
  "schemaUrl": "http://localhost:4200/registry/api/docs/swagger.json",
  "footerText": "Organ donation registry",
    "domainName": "https://demo-url-registry.xiv.in",
  "languages": [
    "en"
  ]
}

4. Run the following command to start the application:

npm start
