[Solved] How can I configure rest api params (server:port) in my electron app?

[Marco]

Hello guys,

I’m struggling with my first electron app.

A button triggers a rest api call:

this.$axios.post(’/api/v1’, …

It fails (Network Error) …

Where do I configure my app to use the real url?:
http://<server>:<port>/api/v1

I have had no problems with the spa version.

Thanks

Check out the quasar extension dotenv (or the newly released qenv - but I may be mistaken). The way I have this set up is with a dev env and a production env which allows you to use your respective dev or production api.

You can then reference and set your base url in the boot axios file located at src/boot/axios.js via:

  axios.defaults.baseURL = process.env.API;

In my case process.env.API = "http://localhost:8000/api"

If you’re just looking to set the api url just set axios.defaults.baseURL directly

Thank you mKomo, it works!
I’m just a newbie.
