To fix CORS request issues for a socket.io connection with a webpack proxy, you can add a proxy configuration in your webpack configuration to proxy requests to the socket.io server. Here's how you can do it:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8  | 
devServer: {
  proxy: {
    '/socket.io': {
      target: 'http://localhost:3000', // Your socket.io server URL
      ws: true
    }
  }
}
 | 
By configuring the webpack dev server to proxy requests to the socket.io server, you should no longer encounter CORS issues when making socket.io requests from your client-side code.
