Can I make an ajax request to localhost?

Question

local server

Deployed a react project to localhost:8080.
There is a data.json file in the project root.
Can I make an ajax request to it? - if - yes,
how?

Answer 1

ajax request will somehow contact your server. But data.json is just data. If you need to pass them through ajax, see how it's done, you can here

Answer 2

If everything is on the same domain (localhost), then why not?
There will be an error in the console if something goes wrong.
In extreme cases, you will have to configure the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header on the server.

Answer 3

import/require
