I am making a get/post request to my locally hosted REST API server in an Ionic 2 app. The errow below shows up afer a couple of seconds.

3 387557 group EXCEPTION: Response with status: 0 for URL: null

4 387558 error EXCEPTION: Response with status: 0 for URL: null

5 387558 groupEnd

6 387568 error Uncaught Response with status: 0 for URL: null, http://localhost:8100/build/js/app.bundle.js, Line: 88826

I am able to make a successful curl request to the local server. Here is my code for reference.

app.js

var express = require("express");
var mysql   = require("mysql");
var bodyParser  = require("body-parser");
var SHA256 = require("sha256");
var rest = require("./REST.js");
var app  = express();

function REST(){
  var self = this;
  self.connectMysql();
};

REST.prototype.connectMysql = function() {
  var self = this;
  var pool      =    mysql.createPool({
    connectionLimit : 100,
    host     : 'host',
    user     : 'user',
    password : 'password',
    database : 'database',
    debug    : false
  });
  pool.getConnection(function(err,connection){
    if(err) {
      self.stop(err);
    } else {
      self.configureExpress(connection);
    }
  });
}

REST.prototype.configureExpress = function(connection) {
  var self = this;
  app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
  app.use(bodyParser.json());
  var router = express.Router();
  app.use('/api', router);
  var rest_router = new rest(router,connection,SHA256);
  self.startServer();
}

REST.prototype.startServer = function() {
  app.listen(3000, function() {
    console.log("All right ! I am alive at Port 3000. OKAY BUDDY");
  });
}

REST.prototype.stop = function(err) {
  console.log("ISSUE WITH MYSQL n" + err);
  process.exit(1);
}

new REST();

REST.js

var mysql = require("mysql");

function REST_ROUTER(router, connection, SHA256) {
  var self = this;
  self.handleRoutes(router, connection, SHA256);
}

REST_ROUTER.prototype.handleRoutes= function(router,connection,SHA256) {
  router.get("/",function(req,res){
    res.json({'foo': 'bar'});
  });
});
