create-react-app is running on port 3000, express is running on port 3001.
I'm fetching data using fetch('/users')... this will fetch localhost:3000 not localhost:3001 where express is running (and express will send the json data when you're making the ajax request right?) so what I needed to do is to add "proxy" : "localhost:3001" so the ajax request can be "redirected" to port 3001 to get data sent by the express app. If you're feeling dizzy, it may be because you're seeing things. Checkout this : you'll end up by making your first react+express app
You can pass the entire host to fetch if you need so. fetch('localhost:3001/users'). Maybe if you create a function that adds the host for you and changes de host depending on the environment you are done.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

Thanks! Good luck to you also. How is that going? I'm just learning how to integrate express with React.
