Chaptet 8 - Single-Origin, Multi-Route Proxy with Express

nayib · October 2021

Do you have any implementation example of a single origin and multiorigin proxy with express. What package would you recommend ?.

Thanks

Hi @nayib
For this purpose i use http-proxy-middleware lib
var app =* express(); var proxy = require('http-proxy-middleware'); var apiProxy = proxy.createProxyMiddleware({target:'https://news.ycombinator.com/', secure:false}); app.use(apiProxy);

Achillemonga is right. With "http-proxy-middleware" it is pretty straight forward.
Change the URL in the example given at https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-proxy-middleware and you are good to go!

spoilers ...

```js const express = require("express"); const { createProxyMiddleware } = require("http-proxy-middleware"); const app = express(); app.use( "/", createProxyMiddleware({ target: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com", changeOrigin: true, }) ); app.listen(3000); ```
