A react component to make web requests from the front-end.
This is a fun-project consciously ignoring the responsibility-premises of front- and backend and therefore very limited in its functionality as an all-purpose web request client.
As this component logic is running on the client/browser, requests can only be made to APIs which explicitly allow CORS requests. A CORS proxy (such as cors-anywhere) can be supplied as a parameter to allow for general web requests.
To allow for general requests, the target must either have CORS enabled explicitly or the request must be routed through a CORS proxy such as cors-anywhere. The proxy prop of this component can be supplied the host of the CORS proxy. That will route all requests through the proxy.
<Requests proxy="http://examplecorsproxy.com/" />A live demo can be found over at requestdemo.rauhut.me. Please note that this is solely an implementation of this Web Requests Widget without a CORS proxy, therefore you are limited in which APIs you can query. You can use it to test my GetGuid API, though.
