Reactjs - TypeError: Failed to execute 'fetch' on 'Window': Failed to parse URL from ***.**.*.***:2000

Question

This is my reactjs code and I am having problem with fetch. I have created own api using nodejs and trying to retrieve some demo json using get method. I am using same local IP for both reactjs and nodejs, yes i am using different port.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

class App extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = {
            error: null,
            isLoaded: false,
            items: []
        };
    }

    componentDidMount() {
        fetch(' ***.**.*.***:2000', {
            method: 'GET'
        })
            .then(res => res.json())
            .then(
                (result) => {
                    this.setState({
                        isLoaded: true,
                        items: result
                    });
                    console.log(result);
                },
                (error) => {
                    this.setState({
                        isLoaded: true,
                        error
                    });console.log(error)
                }
            )
    }
    render() {
            return (
                <ul>fdg
{/*                    {this.state.items.map(item => (
                        <li key={item.id}>
                            {item.name}
                        </li>
                    ))}*/}
                </ul>
            );

    }
}
ReactDOM.render(
    <App />,
    document.getElementById('root')
);

Error is shown after fetch is failed

Solution 1

If anyone still has the error. this is my code

const client = new ApolloClient({
  uri: 'http://localhost:4000:graphql',
});

I got the url wrong. Should be like this

const client = new ApolloClient({
  uri: 'http://localhost:4000/graphql',
});

and if the error in the console is like this:

Failed to load http://...:2000/: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://...:2000' is therefore not allowed access. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

Means you have to add cors in your root js

const cors = require('cors');

const app = express();

// allow cors origin requests

app.use(cors());

Hope I helped. By the way this happened to me so maybe I thought I could help others who has this error. Take Care and Good Luck 😀😀😀

Solution 2

Here is is some update that i made to code. First i made mistake is i didnt add http:// to my IP address during sending request. After doing that i got another error

Failed to load http://...:2000/: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://...:2000' is therefore not allowed access. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

Which means i am forgetting to add cors, Information about How to install and use cors inside your express node, can get from this link https://daveceddia.com/access-control-allow-origin-cors-errors-in-react-express/

Accepted answer is the example of node express code.

Similar issue was mentioned here. stackoverflow.com/a/50161808/4510870

@NirajPaudel No its not similar error. that is invalid value and this is failed to parse url.

[Biswajit]

@ShivendraGupta what is second argument

It looks like you have obfuscated the URL that the error message says is the problem. We can't tell what the problem is without seeing code that reproduces the problem.
