Answer 1

This is an axios post example:

axios.post("test/test", {userName:'..', password:'..'}).then((result) => onSuccess(result.data), (error) => onError(error));

If you are using spring-boot with Java you probably have a CORS problem. Try to put in your endpoint:

@CrossOrigin(origins = {"http://localhost:3000", "url2", "url3})

Replace "http://localhost:3000" with your localhost url if you need it. This is an example:

@CrossOrigin(origins = {"http://localhost:3000", "url2", "url3})
@RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod.POST)
ResponseEntity<HttpStatus> testLoginUser(@RequestBody DTO testDto) throws TestException {

     //Do Something..
}

I don't know how the server is implemented, so: check if you have a CrossOrigin problem or if you have a security problem with your endpoints.
