Set up an Ember CLI Proxy to Bypass CORS Issues When Calling a Remote API

Introduction

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) issues can be a significant hurdle when attempting to access remote APIs from your Ember.js application. One effective method to bypass these restrictions is by setting up an Ember CLI proxy. This article will guide you through configuring an Ember CLI proxy to ensure smooth communication with your desired remote API.

Why Use an Ember CLI Proxy?

When developing an application, you might need to access data from an external API. Browsers enforce the same-origin policy, which might prevent your application from making requests to a different domain due to security reasons. By setting up a proxy server, you can redirect requests from your client-side application to the external API, effectively bypassing CORS restrictions.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Install Ember CLI

Ensure that you have installed Ember CLI in your development environment. You can install it globally using npm:

Step 3: Configure Proxy in ember-cli-build.js

In your Ember application's ember-cli-build.js file, you need to define the proxy configuration. You'll use the proxy option to specify the backend server's address. Modify the file as follows:

Step 4: Update API Requests

Ensure that your Ember Data models or any other network requests are made relative to the /api path. For instance, if you are using Ember Data:

Your API requests will now be proxied through the Ember CLI, effectively bypassing CORS issues.

Conclusion

By configuring an Ember CLI proxy, you can easily bypass CORS issues when communicating with remote APIs during development. This simple yet effective approach allows for smooth and uninterrupted data fetching, ensuring your Ember.js application can interact with external services seamlessly.
