Have you tried using create-react-app? Later versions have added support for creating typescript templates. Also, I have been using Reactjs for some time without needing a proxy middleware, So I am curious about your use case for it.

Well, mostly because the backend won’t be in React/JavaScript but either in Spring Boot or Golang so that will result in another application listening on another port. That causes CORS issues and thus I need the proxy middleware. It gives me more technology flexibility
