You could add the proxy parameter to devServer in webpack.dev.js:

        devServer: {
            proxy: {
                '/api/*': 'http://<YOUR_BACKEND_HOST>:<YOUR_BACKEND_PORT>',
            },
            ...
        },

This way, all requests starting with '/api/' will be proxied to your backend server.

if you want to run the webpack through a nodejs file as a start, have a look at this:

Hi @vesteraas ,
i need your further help....
with the config as below, angular2.0.0 project works with node as backend, but it failed in angular1.5 project, may i know where it was wrong?

....
 devServer: {
        port: 5000,
        host: 'localhost',
        historyApiFallback: true,
        watchOptions: {
            aggregateTimeout: 300,
            poll: 1000
        },
        outputPath: '/',
        proxy: {
            '/api/*': 'http://localhost:8000'
        }
    },
....

@abbymrs I guess your question is off-topic here (as well as my answer) but have a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35538472/webpack-dev-server-with-backend-api

thanks, i rechecked again, it was my mistake that forgot to add '/api/' in my front end codes when make requests from backend.
Thank you so much!
