cors-anywhere VS Express

I'm currently looking at https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere/ which I'm 99% sure has the potential to solve my problem. I say that as I tested it via https://robwu.nl/cors-anywhere.html and it fetched data from the API host I am targeting just fine.

For dev purposes, I recommend using CORS-Anywhere (https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere). This will start up a proxy server that will forward browser requests.

Hello, I am using cors-anywhere (https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere) and have it deployed to heroku. However, the endpoint I am using requires a static IP. I have deployed Fixie (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/fixie) on my heroku application but I'm having trouble configuring it to work.

Have a look at this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cors-anywhere

Set up a proxy server and host it somewhere (fly.io, railway, heroku). Just clone this repo and deploy it anywhere you want. https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere

You could always proxy to it and load the live site if you want haha. Cors is easy to bypass this way https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere

Express: A lightweight framework for building web applications.

Now, we will create API using expressjs. When we created application using --ssr flag, the Angular CLI already took care of installing expressjs for us.

First, we import express. The Express framework allows us to create routes that will respond to webhook POST requests and serve an HTML file when a GET request is made to the root of the site.

Basic Knowledge of Express

Express.js Documentation

In the JavaScript ecosystem, there are guides for enabling SAML-based enterprise single sign-on in AdonisJS, Express.js, Next.js, Remix, and React with an Express.js backend.

Starting off strong with Express.js, the cool kid on the block for building web apps. It's lightweight, flexible, and doesn't throw a tantrum when you ask it to scale. With Express, you can handle HTTP requests like a pro, play around with middleware, set up routes without breaking a sweat, and render views that make your app look stunning. Big names like Netflix and Uber are already on board, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely worth a peek.

Now we can install both Express and Socket.io libraries:
