Foxy

Proxy with response moddin'

cli

First, install globally

$ npm install -g foxy

Then, if you wanted to proxy a local vhost such as http://magento.dev run:

$ foxy http://magento.dev

A random port will be used, but if you want to provide your own:

$ foxy http://magento.dev --port 3000

api

var foxy = require("foxy");
 
var proxy = foxy("http://localhost:3000").listen(8000);
 
// Now access the site through http://localhost:8000

Built-in middleware will re-write html on the fly to update any urls & there'll also be the option for additional rules for the re-writing.

Additional re-write rules

Let's say you want to change the text Home Page to be Homepage Rocks, you can do that easily by providing additional rules

var foxy = require("foxy");
 
var config = {
    rules: [
        {
            match: /Home Page/g,
            fn: function () {
                return "Homepage Rocks"
            }
        }
    ]
};
 
var proxy = foxy("http://localhost:3000", config).listen(8000);

white/black lists

You can force some paths to always be processed by the middlewares.

var proxy = foxy("http://wordpress.dev", {
    whitelist: ["/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php"], // whitelist checked first
    blacklist: ["/wp-admin/**"],
}).listen(8000);

proxyResponse middleware

You can add middleware-like functions which process the proxy response.

var foxy = require("foxy");
 
var config = {
    proxyRes: [
        function(proxyRes, req, config) {
            // do something with the proxyRes object which comes from node-http-proxy
        }
    ]
};
 
var proxy = foxy("http://localhost:3000", config).listen(8000);
