Request to backend fails link on main webpage on no- localhost machine. about fastapi-react

I don't think this is really an issue but if you want to make it clearer that you have to edit BACKEND_URL on non-localhost, go for it. It will be next to impossible to fit everyone's use case but we can make it more clear about how to edit this. We can provide the localhost url as a cookiecutter param, for example.

I believe I have isolated the issue to file:
fastapi-react{{cookiecutter.project_slug}}\frontend\src\config\index.tsx

export const BASE_URL: string = 'http://localhost:{{cookiecutter.port}}';
export const BACKEND_URL: string =
  'http://localhost:{{cookiecutter.port}}/api/v1';

Is it possible to declare a %PUBLIC_URL% here or use 0.0.0.0 to fix the back-end request function?

I'll test this soon and will conclude in a few days with either a readme pr or a pr to config\index.tsx

I would prefer having this as a cookiecutter setting, so like {{cookiecutter.localhost}}:{{cookiecutter.port}} and then update the README
