Use Alternative Backend for Frontend Development

By default, the base URL of TiDB Dashboard backend API is http://127.0.0.1:12333 if using yarn start to set up the dashboard for development.

You can specify an alternative backend API URL by using environment variables:

REACT_APP_DASHBOARD_API_URL=your_new_endpoint yarn start

You can also specify the environment variable by using .env file (create one under ui/ directory if you don't have one already):

REACT_APP_DASHBOARD_API_URL=your_new_endpoint
