Axios post request on / in proxy in create-react-app?

Created by: gpbaculio

so I have this in my package.json proxy in create-react-app:

"proxy": "http://www.myapi.com" my post requests works on other routes:

axios.post('/v1/users', { // http://www.myapi.com/v1/users
            email: email,
            password: password
        })
        .then((response) => { 
            this.setState((state, props) => ({
                registrationSuccess: true
            }));
        })
        .catch((error) => {
            this.setState((state, props) => ({
                registrationError: true
            }));
        });

but when I want to make post request on root, this works on postman, like on http://www.myapi.com it fails, this fails:

 axios.post('/', { // http://www.myapi.com
                email: email,
                password: password
            })

it will make post request on localhost:3000/, but I want to make post request on http://www.myapi.com proxy. help?
