## TL;DR
|
14
|
|
15
|
Proxy `/api` requests to `http://www.example.org`
|
16
|
|
17
|
```javascript
|
18
|
var express = require('express')
|
19
|
var proxy = require('http-proxy-middleware')
|
20
|
|
21
|
var app = express()
|
22
|
|
23
|
app.use('/api', proxy({ target: 'http://www.example.org', changeOrigin: true }))
|
24
|
app.listen(3000)
|
25
|
|
26
|
// http://localhost:3000/api/foo/bar -> http://www.example.org/api/foo/bar
|
27
|
```
|
28
|
|
29
|
_All_ `http-proxy` [options](https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy#options) can be used, along with some extra `http-proxy-middleware` [options](#options).
|
30
|
|
31
|
:bulb: **Tip:** Set the option `changeOrigin` to `true` for [name-based virtual hosted sites](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_hosting#Name-based).

## Core concept
|
65
|
|
66
|
Proxy middleware configuration.

|
```javascript
|
71
|
var proxy = require('http-proxy-middleware')
|
72
|
|
73
|
var apiProxy = proxy('/api', { target: 'http://www.example.org' })

## Example
|
97
|
|
98
|
An example with `express` server.
|
99
|
|
100
|
```javascript
|
101
|
// include dependencies
|
102
|
var express = require('express')
|
103
|
var proxy = require('http-proxy-middleware')
|
104
|
|
105
|
// proxy middleware options
|
106
|
var options = {
|
107
|
target: 'http://www.example.org', // target host
|
108
|
changeOrigin: true, // needed for virtual hosted sites
|
109
|
ws: true, // proxy websockets
|
110
|
pathRewrite: {
|
111
|
'^/api/old-path': '/api/new-path', // rewrite path
|
112
|
'^/api/remove/path': '/path' // remove base path
|
113
|
},
|
114
|
router: {
|
115
|
// when request.headers.host == 'dev.localhost:3000',
|
116
|
// override target 'http://www.example.org' to 'http://localhost:8000'
|
117
|
'dev.localhost:3000': 'http://localhost:8000'
|
118
|
}
|
119
|
}
|
120
|
|
121
|
// create the proxy (without context)
|
122
|
var exampleProxy = proxy(options)
|
123
|
|
124
|
// mount `exampleProxy` in web server
|
125
|
var app = express()
|
126
|
app.use('/api', exampleProxy)
|
127
|
app.listen(3000)
|
128
|
```
|
129
|
|
130
|
## Context matching
|
131
|
|
132
|
Providing an alternative way to decide which requests should be proxied; In case you are not able to use the server's [`path` parameter](http://expressjs.com/en/4x/api.html#app.use) to mount the proxy or when you need more flexibility.
|
133
|
|
134
|
[RFC 3986 `path`](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.3) is used for context matching.
|
135
|
|
136
|

|
```
|
142
|
|
143
|
- **path matching**
|
144
|
|
145
|
- `proxy({...})` - matches any path, all requests will be proxied.
|
146
|
- `proxy('/', {...})` - matches any path, all requests will be proxied.
|
147
|
- `proxy('/api', {...})` - matches paths starting with `/api`
|
148
|
|
149
|
- **multiple path matching**
|
150
|
|
151
|
- `proxy(['/api', '/ajax', '/someotherpath'], {...})`
|
152
|
|
153
|
- **wildcard path matching**
|
154
|
|
155
|
For fine-grained control you can use wildcard matching. Glob pattern matching is done by _micromatch_. Visit [micromatch](https://www.npmjs.com/package/micromatch) or [glob](https://www.npmjs.com/package/glob) for more globbing examples.
|
156
|
|
157
|
- `proxy('**', {...})` matches any path, all requests will be proxied.
|
158
|
- `proxy('**/*.html', {...})` matches any path which ends with `.html`
|
159
|
- `proxy('/*.html', {...})` matches paths directly under path-absolute
|
160
|
- `proxy('/api/**/*.html', {...})` matches requests ending with `.html` in the path of `/api`
|
161
|
- `proxy(['/api/**', '/ajax/**'], {...})` combine multiple patterns
|
162
|
- `proxy(['/api/**', '!**/bad.json'], {...})` exclusion
|
163
|
|
164
|
**Note**: In multiple path matching, you cannot use string paths and wildcard paths together.
|
165
|
|
166
|
- **custom matching**
|
167
|
|
168
|
For full control you can provide a custom function to determine which requests should be proxied or not.
|
169
|
|
170
|
```javascript
|
171
|
/**
|
172
|
* @return {Boolean}
|
173
|
*/
|
174
|
var filter = function(pathname, req) {
|
175
|
return pathname.match('^/api') && req.method === 'GET'
|
176
|
}
|
177
|
|
178
|
var apiProxy = proxy(filter, { target: 'http://www.example.org' })
|
179
|
```
|
180
|
|
181
|

|
336
|
- Object: mapping of domains to new domains, use `"*"` to match all domains.
|
337
|
For example keep one domain unchanged, rewrite one domain and remove other domains:
|
338
|
```
|
339
|
cookieDomainRewrite: {
|
340
|
"unchanged.domain": "unchanged.domain",

- String: new path, for example `cookiePathRewrite: "/newPath/"`. To remove the path, use `cookiePathRewrite: ""`. To set path to root use `cookiePathRewrite: "/"`.
|
348
|
- Object: mapping of paths to new paths, use `"*"` to match all paths.
|
349
|
For example, to keep one path unchanged, rewrite one path and remove other paths:

|
```
|
351
|
cookiePathRewrite: {
|
352
|
"/unchanged.path/": "/unchanged.path/",
|
353
|
"/old.path/": "/new.path/",
|
354
|
"*": ""
|
355
|
}
|
356
|
```
|

|
- **option.headers**: object, adds [request headers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields#Request_fields). (Example: `{host:'www.example.org'}`)
|
358
|
- **option.proxyTimeout**: timeout (in millis) when proxy receives no response from target
|
359
|
- **option.timeout**: timeout (in millis) for incoming requests
|
360
|
- **option.followRedirects**: true/false, Default: false - specify whether you want to follow redirects
|
361
|
- **option.selfHandleResponse** true/false, if set to true, none of the webOutgoing passes are called and it's your responsibility to appropriately return the response by listening and acting on the `proxyRes` event
|
362
|
- **option.buffer**: stream of data to send as the request body. Maybe you have some middleware that consumes the request stream before proxying it on e.g. If you read the body of a request into a field called 'req.rawbody' you could restream this field in the buffer option:
|
363
|
|
364
|
```
|
365
|
'use strict';
|
366
|
|
367
|
const streamify = require('stream-array');
|
368
|
const HttpProxy = require('http-proxy');
|
369
|
const proxy = new HttpProxy();
|
370
|
|
371
|
module.exports = (req, res, next) => {
|
372
|
|
373
|
proxy.web(req, res, {
|
374
|
target: 'http://localhost:4003/',
|
375
|
buffer: streamify(req.rawBody)
|
376
|
}, next);
|
377
|
|
378
|
};
|
379
|
```
|
380
|
|
381
|
## Shorthand
|
382
|
|
383
|
Use the shorthand syntax when verbose configuration is not needed. The `context` and `option.target` will be automatically configured when shorthand is used. Options can still be used if needed.
|
384
|
|
385
|
```javascript
|
386
|
proxy('http://www.example.org:8000/api')
|
387
|
// proxy('/api', {target: 'http://www.example.org:8000'});
|
388
|
|
389
|
proxy('http://www.example.org:8000/api/books/*/**.json')
|
390
|
// proxy('/api/books/*/**.json', {target: 'http://www.example.org:8000'});
|
391
|
|
392
|
proxy('http://www.example.org:8000/api', { changeOrigin: true })
|
393
|
// proxy('/api', {target: 'http://www.example.org:8000', changeOrigin: true});
|
394
|
```
|
395
|
|
396
|
### app.use(path, proxy)
|
397
|
|
398
|
If you want to use the server's `app.use` `path` parameter to match requests;
|
399
|
Create and mount the proxy without the http-proxy-middleware `context` parameter:
|
400
|
|
401
|
```javascript
|
402
|
app.use('/api', proxy({ target: 'http://www.example.org', changeOrigin: true }))
|
403
|
```
|
404
|
|
405
|

|

|

|
## WebSocket
|
411
|
|
412
|
```javascript
|
413
|
// verbose api
|
414
|
proxy('/', { target: 'http://echo.websocket.org', ws: true })
|
415
|
|
416
|
// shorthand
|
417
|
proxy('http://echo.websocket.org', { ws: true })
|
418
|
|
419
|
// shorter shorthand
|
420
|
proxy('ws://echo.websocket.org')
|
421
|
```
|
422
|
|
423
|
### External WebSocket upgrade
|
424
|
|
425
|
In the previous WebSocket examples, http-proxy-middleware relies on a initial http request in order to listen to the http `upgrade` event. If you need to proxy WebSockets without the initial http request, you can subscribe to the server's http `upgrade` event manually.
|
426
|
|
427
|
```javascript
|
428
|
var wsProxy = proxy('ws://echo.websocket.org', { changeOrigin: true })
|
429
|
|
430
|
var app = express()
|
431
|
app.use(wsProxy)
|
432
|
|
433
|
var server = app.listen(3000)
|
434
|
server.on('upgrade', wsProxy.upgrade) // <-- subscribe to http 'upgrade'
|
435
|
```
|
436
|
|
437
|
