Angular’s proxyConfig provides a solution for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) issues during development, allowing Angular applications to communicate with backend servers seamlessly.
The proxyConfig file, typically in JSON or JavaScript format, defines rules for requests to be proxied and resides in the root of the Angular project.
By configuring the serve target in angular.json to use the proxyConfig file, Angular's development server can automatically apply the proxy configuration.
While proxyConfig is essential for development, it should not be used in a production environment where a proper web server reverse proxy setup is recommended for optimal performance and security.
