Is it possible to ignore ssl verification for fetch api in react app?

I am using fetch API in react single page application, and I need to access a self-signed https microservice, it fails because of the SSL verification. Is it possible to ignore the verification? And how to do it?

No, this error is from your browser and cannot be avoided in JavaScript. You must either add the self-signed certificate to your root certificate repository on your local machine or obtain a valid signed certificate from a free service such as Let's Encrypt.

Alternatively, you can relay the request via your own server. but some instance needs to have SSL enabled, if the app itself runs on HTTPS.

on the server-side you can ignore wrong certificates. E.g.: https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch/issues/19#issuecomment-289709519
