CRA setupProxy issues on a Render static site

1

Hi all, I set up a Create React App as a static site which has a setupProxy that I use to connect to a third party API (contentful) and some static API calls I make converting some CSV to JSON.

The code is here: namroodinc.com/src/setupProxy.js at main · namroodinc/namroodinc.com · GitHub

However, whilst this works fine locally, it doesn’t seem to work once it’s deployed to Render.

Is there something more I should be doing? Any help would be massively appreciated!

Thanks

Hi Ashoor,

To run server-side code (e.g. setupProxy.js) you’d need to be running this as a Web Service, not a static site.

Locally you may be running yarn start or npm start which starts a web server. That may be why it’s working for you there.

Regards,

Matt
