http-proxy-middleware example not working

[JoshClose]

I can't get the example here to work. If I change the version of http-proxy-middleware to 0.21.0 it works fine.

Steps to reproduce:

$ create-react-app my-app
$ npm install http-proxy-middleware

Create a file src/setupProxy.js and put this in it.

const createProxyMiddleware = require("http-proxy-middleware");

module.exports = function (app) {
    app.use(createProxyMiddleware("/api", {
        target: "http://localhost:5000",
        changeOrigin: true
    }));
}

$ npm run start

Go to http://localhost:3000 and get a connection refused error.

I'm guessing I'm missing something trivial here as I can't find any info about this.

When you use the last version, you need to change to

const { createProxyMiddleware } = require("http-proxy-middleware");

Sigh... That's what I get for not making it a TypeScript file! At least this will be here if others run into this.
