Angular CORS with Django

I'm trying to get a simple api with mock data from django. I tried to get the API with Postman and it's fine.

So right now I'm having this situation.

settings.py

this is my transactions.component.ts

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient, HttpHeaders, HttpParams } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { catchError, map } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { TransactionsService } from '../../services/transactions.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-transactions',
  templateUrl: './transactions.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./transactions.component.scss']
})
export class TransactionsComponent implements OnInit {
  transactions: any[] = [];
  dataLoaded = false;

  constructor(private http: HttpClient, private transactionsService: TransactionsService) {}

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.loadTransactions();
  }

  loadTransactions(): void {
    console.log('Caricamento delle transazioni iniziato');

    // Configura gli header e le opzioni della richiesta
    const headers = new HttpHeaders({
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    });

    // Usa HttpClient per fare la richiesta
    this.http.get<any[]>('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/dummy-transactions/', { headers, withCredentials: true })
      .pipe(
        map(data => {
          // Elabora i dati se necessario
          console.log('Dati ricevuti:', data);
          return data;
        }),
        catchError(error => {
          // Gestisci gli errori
          console.error('Errore nel caricamento delle transazioni', error);
          throw error; // Rilancia l'errore per ulteriori gestioni
        })
      )
      .subscribe(
        data => {
          this.transactions = data;
          this.dataLoaded = true;
          console.log('Dati caricati e visualizzati');
        },
        error => {
          console.error('Errore nel caricamento delle transazioni', error);
        }
      );
  }
}

HTML

<div *ngIf="dataLoaded">
  <ul>
    <li *ngFor="let transaction of transactions">
      <strong>{{ transaction.type | uppercase }}</strong>: {{ transaction.description }} - {{ transaction.amount }} ({{ transaction.date | date:'short' }})
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

The result is a page that shows the data, but just if I break loading fast: if not, the api will fail with cors error. Like this: enter image description here

I tryed all.

I also start frontend with: ng serve --proxy-config src/proxy.conf.json. This is the proxy:

{
    "/api": {
      "target": "http://127.0.0.1:8000", 
      "secure": false,
      "changeOrigin": true,
      "logLevel": "debug"
    }
  }

Sorry for the truly bad code and duplicate code, but i changed sooo much that I gave up to clean it again and again. Please help :(

Solution

  • With your code with so many duplicates, I don't think it is easy to find the cause of the error. It might work if you clean it up and use correct settings in settings.py

    And after making changes, don't forget to clean the browser cache using Ctrl + Shift + R.

    Please let me know if it works.
