How to allow cors on nodeJS server

I have a super simple backend with node.js, and I have CORS enabled. However, I still can't get to allow sending any kind of data cross-origin.

This is my backend running on port 3000:

const express = require('express');
const cors = require('cors');

const app = express();

var corsOptions = {
    origin: 'http://127.0.0.1:3001',
    optionsSuccessStatus: 200 // For legacy browser support
}

app.use(cors(corsOptions));

//app.use(cors()); ALSO TRIED THIS

app.listen('3000', () => {
    console.log('Listening on port 3000');
});


app.get('/number', (req, res) => {
    res.json({number: 1});
});

And this is how I fetch from frontend, running on port 3001:

fetch('http://localhost:3000/number')
    .then(res => console.log(res));

But this is the response I'm getting:

Response {
    body: ReadableStream
    bodyUsed: false
    headers: Headers {}
    ok: true
    redirected: false
    status: 200
    statusText: "OK"
    type: "cors"
    url: "http://localhost:3000/number"
}

But I was expecting:

Response {
    number:1
}

I think this is mainly a CORS issue, because everything works just fine when using postman.

Thank you so much for your time!

node.js backend fetch rest

This is not the cors issue, simply change your fetch like a blow to get the expected result.

fetch('http://localhost:3000/number')
    .then(res => res.json()).then(data=>console.log(data));

this will give you {number: 1} as a result.
