Request Failed for Axios in reactjs with Rails 6 API in local

Question

I am using axios in reactjs which is running on port 3000 & Rails 6 API application is running in 3001.

I hit for /authenticate POST API & checked in the browser network tab for xhr tab where I found status as (cancelled) and no response or error.

On rails log,

Started POST "/api/v1/authenticate" for ::1 at 2020-09-04 09:56:49 +0530
Processing by Api::V1::AuthenticationController#authenticate as HTML
  Parameters: {"email"=>"[email protected]", "password"=>"[FILTERED]", "authentication"=>{"email"=>"[email protected]", "password"=>"[FILTERED]"}}

Please suggest what I am doing wrong here

My axios call is like below,

  const response = await axios({
    URL: "http://localhost:3001/api/v1/authenticate",
    method: "POST",
    data: {"email":"[email protected]","password":"123123123"},
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
  });

I followed reference but did not work

src/setupProxy.js

const { createProxyMiddleware } = require('http-proxy-middleware');
module.exports = function (app) {
  app.use(
    '/api/v1',
    createProxyMiddleware({
      target: 'http://localhost:3001/',
      changeOrigin: true,
    })
  );
};

API seems right as following return token in response json data,

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"email":"[email protected]","password":"123123123"}' http://localhost:3001/api/v1/authenticate

I'm not sure if you're using Devise or not, but I use Knock for JWT, which has a nasty habit of requiring a data to include auth like this:

const response = await axios({
    URL: "http://localhost:3001/api/v1/authenticate",
    method: "POST",
    data: {"auth": {"email":"[email protected]","password":"123123123"}},
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'application/json' }
  });

while Devise requires additional header Accept: application/json

Refer here -> https://github.com/nsarno/knock#authenticating-from-a-web-or-mobile-application

Don't know if this answers your question though.

I am going to delete a question as it was a silly mistake from the front end. Axios call was getting canceled due to a button element on which it got called with onClick event, had type="submit" which eventually trigger form submit. So I had to change the type.

If you do not provide Accept inside header, it assumes it is HTML type and for this request API can render JSON data.
