proxy setting in package.json

[rohitzGit]

Error : When specified, "proxy" in package.json must be a string.
Instead, the type of "proxy" was "object".
Either remove "proxy" from package.json, or make it a string

changing the proxy settings as below worked:
"proxy": "http://localhost:8080/api"

Is it fine to proceed as above?

It is related to create-react-app version2.

"proxy": "http://localhost:3002/api",
Change it to a string format like this, instaed of writing it as an object. That should fix it. See image below.
