// vite.config.js
export default {
  server: {
    proxy: {
      '/api': {
        target: 'http://localhost:3000', // Change this to the URL of your backend server
        changeOrigin: true,
        rewrite: (path) => path.replace(/^/api/, '')
      }
    }
  }
}

1. In the above code snippet, replace 'http://localhost:3000' with the URL of your backend server.
2. Make sure to restart your Vite development server after making these changes.
3. Now, you can access your backend server API routes from '/api' in your frontend code. For example, if you have an API route at http://localhost:3000/users, you can access it in your frontend code using '/api/users'.

By following these steps, you can properly configure Vite's proxy settings to access your backend server from your frontend code during development.
