Having issues communicating with an external API via ionic serve
and ionic run -l
, essentially anything that uses a localserver.
I’ve followed the guide @ http://blog.ionic.io/handling-cors-issues-in-ionic/, which provides an option for handling the issue in Ionic 1 projects, but I’m struggling to get it working in a v2 project.
Fetch API cannot load https://test.api.promisepay.com/items/100fd4a0-0538-11e6-b512-3e1d05defe79/make_payment. Method PATCH is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Methods in preflight response.
I have no control over how the API handles theses requests, as it is controlled by PromisePay.
Following the closest thing to a possible solution on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40576037/cors-with-firebaseionic2angularjs-no-access-control-allow-origin-still-exis
I’ve updated my ionic.config.json
to
{
"name": "project",
"app_id": "xxxxxxx",
"proxies": [{
"path": "/ppapi",
"proxyUrl": "https://test.api.promisepay.com"
}]
}
In the library that makes the http calls, I’ve updated the base URL to const PRE_LIVE_API = '/ppapi';
The request method looks as follows:
let Requester = class Requester {
constructor() {
let config = arguments.length > 0 && arguments[0] !== undefined ? arguments[0] : {};
this.config = config;
const baseUrl = PRE_LIVE_API;
this.log(`API endpoint: ${ baseUrl }`);
this.client = _requestPromise2.default.defaults({
baseUrl: baseUrl,
auth: {
user: config.userName,
pass: config.token
},
headers: {
Accept: 'application/json',
Authorization: `basic ${ config.apiToken }`
},
resolveWithFullResponse: true
});
}
When making a call to the most basic of API endpoints /status/
I am now receiving the following error:
"Error: Invalid URI "/ppapi/status""
It seems the proxy path isn’t being passed through.
Any ideas?
