app.use(path, createProxyMiddleware(config)); code example

Example: http proxy middleware

// TIPS AND TRICK CUSTOM PROXY IN WEBPACK DEV SERVER BY restuwahyu13
//NOTE this method like using CRA in React

// manual proxy before
module.exports = {
	devServer: {
		open: true,
		compress: true,
		hot: true,
		inline: true,
		lazy: true,

		port: process.env.PORT || 3000,
		proxy: {
          '/api/*', {
          	target: 'http://localhost:3001',
			secure: false,
			changeOrigin: true,
			headers: {
				'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',

				'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': '*'
			}
