General: Simple Proxy

npx webpack serve --open

In webpack.config.js there is a very simple configuration for a proxy. Note that this only works when proxying to a direct ip address. See the proxy-advanced example if you want to proxy to a domain.

What Should Happen

1. The script should open http://localhost:8080/ in your default browser.
2. You should see the text on the page itself change to read Success!.
3. Navigate to http://localhost:8080/api/hey.
4. Since the proxy target does not actually exist, the console/terminal should display an error that reads [HPM] PROXY ERROR: ECONNREFUSED. localhost -> http://127.0.0.1:50545/api/hey.
