## ⚠️ Note <!-- omit in toc -->

This page is showing documentation for version v2.x.x ([release notes](https://github.com/chimurai/http-proxy-middleware/releases))

If you're looking for v0.x documentation. Go to:
https://github.com/chimurai/http-proxy-middleware/tree/v0.21.0#readme

## TL;DR <!-- omit in toc -->

Proxy `/api` requests to `http://www.example.org`

```javascript
// javascript

const express = require('express');
const { createProxyMiddleware } = require('http-proxy-middleware');

const app = express();

app.use('/api', createProxyMiddleware({ target: 'http://www.example.org', changeOrigin: true }));
app.listen(3000);

// http://localhost:3000/api/foo/bar -> http://www.example.org/api/foo/bar
```

```typescript
// typescript

import * as express from 'express';
import { createProxyMiddleware, Filter, Options, RequestHandler } from 'http-proxy-middleware';

const app = express();

app.use('/api', createProxyMiddleware({ target: 'http://www.example.org', changeOrigin: true }));
app.listen(3000);

// http://localhost:3000/api/foo/bar -> http://www.example.org/api/foo/bar
```

_All_ `http-proxy` [options](https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy#options) can be used, along with some extra `http-proxy-middleware` [options](#options).

:bulb: **Tip:** Set the option `changeOrigin` to `true` for [name-based virtual hosted sites](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_hosting#Name-based).

## Install

```bash
$ npm install --save-dev http-proxy-middleware
```

## Core concept

Proxy middleware configuration.

#### createProxyMiddleware([context,] config)

```javascript
const { createProxyMiddleware } = require('http-proxy-middleware');

const apiProxy = createProxyMiddleware('/api', { target: 'http://www.example.org' });
//                                    \____/   \_____________________________/
//                                      |                    |
//                                    context             options

// 'apiProxy' is now ready to be used as middleware in a server.
```

- **context**: Determine which requests should be proxied to the target host.
  (more on [context matching](#context-matching))
- **options.target**: target host to proxy to. _(protocol + host)_

(full list of [`http-proxy-middleware` configuration options](#options))

#### createProxyMiddleware(uri [, config])

```javascript
// shorthand syntax for the example above:
const apiProxy = createProxyMiddleware('http://www.example.org/api');
```

More about the [shorthand configuration](#shorthand).

## Example

An example with `express` server.

```javascript
// include dependencies
const express = require('express');
const { createProxyMiddleware } = require('http-proxy-middleware');

// proxy middleware options
/** @type {import('http-proxy-middleware/dist/types').Options} */
const options = {
  target: 'http://www.example.org', // target host
  changeOrigin: true, // needed for virtual hosted sites
  ws: true, // proxy websockets
  pathRewrite: {
    '^/api/old-path': '/api/new-path', // rewrite path
    '^/api/remove/path': '/path', // remove base path
  },
  router: {
    // when request.headers.host == 'dev.localhost:3000',
    // override target 'http://www.example.org' to 'http://localhost:8000'
    'dev.localhost:3000': 'http://localhost:8000',
  },
};

// create the proxy (without context)
const exampleProxy = createProxyMiddleware(options);

// mount `exampleProxy` in web server
const app = express();
app.use('/api', exampleProxy);
app.listen(3000);
```

## Context matching

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.

[RFC 3986 `path`](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.3) is used for context matching.

```ascii
         foo://example.com:8042/over/there?name=ferret#nose
         \_/   \______________/\_________/ \_________/ \__/
          |           |            |            |        |
       scheme     authority       path        query   fragment
```

- **path matching**

  - `createProxyMiddleware({...})` - matches any path, all requests will be proxied.
  - `createProxyMiddleware('/', {...})` - matches any path, all requests will be proxied.
  - `createProxyMiddleware('/api', {...})` - matches paths starting with `/api`

- **multiple path matching**

  - `createProxyMiddleware(['/api', '/ajax', '/someotherpath'], {...})`

- **wildcard path matching**

  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.

  - `createProxyMiddleware('**', {...})` matches any path, all requests will be proxied.
  - `createProxyMiddleware('**/*.html', {...})` matches any path which ends with `.html`
  - `createProxyMiddleware('/*.html', {...})` matches paths directly under path-absolute
  - `createProxyMiddleware('/api/**/*.html', {...})` matches requests ending with `.html` in the path of `/api`
  - `createProxyMiddleware(['/api/**', '/ajax/**'], {...})` combine multiple patterns
  - `createProxyMiddleware(['/api/**', '!**/bad.json'], {...})` exclusion

  **Note**: In multiple path matching, you cannot use string paths and wildcard paths together.

- **custom matching**

  For full control you can provide a custom function to determine which requests should be proxied or not.

  ```javascript
  /**
   * @return {Boolean}
   */
  const filter = function (pathname, req) {
    return pathname.match('^/api') && req.method === 'GET';
  };

  const apiProxy = createProxyMiddleware(filter, {
    target: 'http://www.example.org',
  });
  ```

## Options

### http-proxy-middleware options

- **option.pathRewrite**: object/function, rewrite target's url path. Object-keys will be used as _RegExp_ to match paths.

  ```javascript
  // rewrite path
  pathRewrite: {'^/old/api' : '/new/api'}

  // remove path
  pathRewrite: {'^/remove/api' : ''}

  // add base path
  pathRewrite: {'^/' : '/basepath/'}

  // custom rewriting
  pathRewrite: function (path, req) { return path.replace('/api', '/base/api') }

  // custom rewriting, returning Promise
  pathRewrite: async function (path, req) {
    const should_add_something = await httpRequestToDecideSomething(path);
    if (should_add_something) path += "something";
    return path;
  }
  ```

- **option.router**: object/function, re-target `option.target` for specific requests.

  ```javascript
  // Use `host` and/or `path` to match requests. First match will be used.
  // The order of the configuration matters.
  router: {
      'integration.localhost:3000' : 'http://localhost:8001',  // host only
      'staging.localhost:3000'     : 'http://localhost:8002',  // host only
      'localhost:3000/api'         : 'http://localhost:8003',  // host + path
      '/rest'                      : 'http://localhost:8004'   // path only
  }

  // Custom router function (string target)
  router: function(req) {
      return 'http://localhost:8004';
  }

  // Custom router function (target object)
  router: function(req) {
      return {
          protocol: 'https:', // The : is required
          host: 'localhost',
          port: 8004
      };
  }

  // Asynchronous router function which returns promise
  router: async function(req) {
      const url = await doSomeIO();
      return url;
  }
  ```

- **option.logLevel**: string, ['debug', 'info', 'warn', 'error', 'silent']. Default: `'info'`

- **option.logProvider**: function, modify or replace log provider. Default: `console`.

  ```javascript
  // simple replace
  function logProvider(provider) {
    // replace the default console log provider.
    return require('winston');
  }
  ```

  ```javascript
  // verbose replacement
  function logProvider(provider) {
    const logger = new (require('winston').Logger)();

    const myCustomProvider = {
      log: logger.log,
      debug: logger.debug,
      info: logger.info,
      warn: logger.warn,
      error: logger.error,
    };
    return myCustomProvider;
  }
  ```

### http-proxy events

Subscribe to [http-proxy events](https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy#listening-for-proxy-events):

- **option.onError**: function, subscribe to http-proxy's `error` event for custom error handling.

  ```javascript
  function onError(err, req, res, target) {
    res.writeHead(500, {
      'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
    });
    res.end('Something went wrong. And we are reporting a custom error message.');
  }
  ```

- **option.onProxyRes**: function, subscribe to http-proxy's `proxyRes` event.

  ```javascript
  function onProxyRes(proxyRes, req, res) {
    proxyRes.headers['x-added'] = 'foobar'; // add new header to response
    delete proxyRes.headers['x-removed']; // remove header from response
  }
  ```

- **option.onProxyReq**: function, subscribe to http-proxy's `proxyReq` event.

  ```javascript
  function onProxyReq(proxyReq, req, res) {
    // add custom header to request
    proxyReq.setHeader('x-added', 'foobar');
    // or log the req
  }
  ```

- **option.onProxyReqWs**: function, subscribe to http-proxy's `proxyReqWs` event.

  ```javascript
  function onProxyReqWs(proxyReq, req, socket, options, head) {
    // add custom header
    proxyReq.setHeader('X-Special-Proxy-Header', 'foobar');
  }
  ```

- **option.onOpen**: function, subscribe to http-proxy's `open` event.

  ```javascript
  function onOpen(proxySocket) {
    // listen for messages coming FROM the target here
    proxySocket.on('data', hybridParseAndLogMessage);
  }
  ```

- **option.onClose**: function, subscribe to http-proxy's `close` event.

  ```javascript
  function onClose(res, socket, head) {
    // view disconnected websocket connections
    console.log('Client disconnected');
  }
  ```

### http-proxy options

The following options are provided by the underlying [http-proxy](https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy#options) library.

- **option.target**: url string to be parsed with the url module
- **option.forward**: url string to be parsed with the url module
- **option.agent**: object to be passed to http(s).request (see Node's [https agent](http://nodejs.org/api/https.html#https_class_https_agent) and [http agent](http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_class_http_agent) objects)
- **option.ssl**: object to be passed to https.createServer()
- **option.ws**: true/false: if you want to proxy websockets
- **option.xfwd**: true/false, adds x-forward headers
- **option.secure**: true/false, if you want to verify the SSL Certs
- **option.toProxy**: true/false, passes the absolute URL as the `path` (useful for proxying to proxies)
- **option.prependPath**: true/false, Default: true - specify whether you want to prepend the target's path to the proxy path
- **option.ignorePath**: true/false, Default: false - specify whether you want to ignore the proxy path of the incoming request (note: you will have to append / manually if required).
- **option.localAddress** : Local interface string to bind for outgoing connections
- **option.changeOrigin**: true/false, Default: false - changes the origin of the host header to the target URL
- **option.preserveHeaderKeyCase**: true/false, Default: false - specify whether you want to keep letter case of response header key
- **option.auth** : Basic authentication i.e. 'user:password' to compute an Authorization header.
- **option.hostRewrite**: rewrites the location hostname on (301/302/307/308) redirects.
- **option.autoRewrite**: rewrites the location host/port on (301/302/307/308) redirects based on requested host/port. Default: false.
- **option.protocolRewrite**: rewrites the location protocol on (301/302/307/308) redirects to 'http' or 'https'. Default: null.
- **option.cookieDomainRewrite**: rewrites domain of `set-cookie` headers. Possible values:
  - `false` (default): disable cookie rewriting
  - String: new domain, for example `cookieDomainRewrite: "new.domain"`. To remove the domain, use `cookieDomainRewrite: ""`.
  - Object: mapping of domains to new domains, use `"*"` to match all domains.  
    For example keep one domain unchanged, rewrite one domain and remove other domains:
    ```json
    cookieDomainRewrite: {
      "unchanged.domain": "unchanged.domain",
      "old.domain": "new.domain",
      "*": ""
    }
    ```
- **option.cookiePathRewrite**: rewrites path of `set-cookie` headers. Possible values:
  - `false` (default): disable cookie rewriting
  - String: new path, for example `cookiePathRewrite: "/newPath/"`. To remove the path, use `cookiePathRewrite: ""`. To set path to root use `cookiePathRewrite: "/"`.
  - Object: mapping of paths to new paths, use `"*"` to match all paths.
    For example, to keep one path unchanged, rewrite one path and remove other paths:
    ```json
    cookiePathRewrite: {
      "/unchanged.path/": "/unchanged.path/",
      "/old.path/": "/new.path/",
      "*": ""
    }
    ```
- **option.headers**: object, adds [request headers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields#Request_fields). (Example: `{host:'www.example.org'}`)
- **option.proxyTimeout**: timeout (in millis) when proxy receives no response from target
- **option.timeout**: timeout (in millis) for incoming requests
- **option.followRedirects**: true/false, Default: false - specify whether you want to follow redirects
- **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
- **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:

  ```javascript
  'use strict';

  const streamify = require('stream-array');
  const HttpProxy = require('http-proxy');
  const proxy = new HttpProxy();

  module.exports = (req, res, next) => {
    proxy.web(
      req,
      res,
      {
        target: 'http://localhost:4003/',
        buffer: streamify(req.rawBody),
      },
      next
    );
  };
  ```

## Shorthand

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.

```javascript
createProxyMiddleware('http://www.example.org:8000/api');
// createProxyMiddleware('/api', {target: 'http://www.example.org:8000'});

createProxyMiddleware('http://www.example.org:8000/api/books/*/**.json');
// createProxyMiddleware('/api/books/*/**.json', {target: 'http://www.example.org:8000'});

createProxyMiddleware('http://www.example.org:8000/api', { changeOrigin: true });
// createProxyMiddleware('/api', {target: 'http://www.example.org:8000', changeOrigin: true});
```

### app.use(path, proxy)

If you want to use the server's `app.use` `path` parameter to match requests;
Create and mount the proxy without the http-proxy-middleware `context` parameter:

```javascript
app.use('/api', createProxyMiddleware({ target: 'http://www.example.org', changeOrigin: true }));
```

`app.use` documentation:

- express: http://expressjs.com/en/4x/api.html#app.use
- connect: https://github.com/senchalabs/connect#mount-middleware
- polka: https://github.com/lukeed/polka#usebase-fn

## WebSocket

```javascript
// verbose api
createProxyMiddleware('/', { target: 'http://echo.websocket.org', ws: true });

// shorthand
createProxyMiddleware('http://echo.websocket.org', { ws: true });

// shorter shorthand
createProxyMiddleware('ws://echo.websocket.org');
```

### External WebSocket upgrade

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.

```javascript
const wsProxy = createProxyMiddleware('ws://echo.websocket.org', { changeOrigin: true });

const app = express();
app.use(wsProxy);

const server = app.listen(3000);
server.on('upgrade', wsProxy.upgrade); // <-- subscribe to http 'upgrade'
```

## Intercept and manipulate requests

Intercept requests from downstream by defining `onProxyReq` in `createProxyMiddleware`.

Currently the only pre-provided request interceptor is `fixRequestBody`, which is used to fix proxied POST requests when `bodyParser` is applied before this middleware.

Example:

```javascript
const { createProxyMiddleware, fixRequestBody } = require('http-proxy-middleware');

const proxy = createProxyMiddleware({
  /**
   * Fix bodyParser
   **/
  onProxyReq: fixRequestBody,
});
```

## Intercept and manipulate responses

Intercept responses from upstream with `responseInterceptor`. (Make sure to set `selfHandleResponse: true`)

Responses which are compressed with `brotli`, `gzip` and `deflate` will be decompressed automatically. The response will be returned as `buffer` ([docs](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html)) which you can manipulate.

With `buffer`, response manipulation is not limited to text responses (html/css/js, etc...); image manipulation will be possible too. ([example](https://github.com/chimurai/http-proxy-middleware/blob/master/recipes/response-interceptor.md#manipulate-image-response))

NOTE: `responseInterceptor` disables streaming of target's response.

Example:

```javascript
const { createProxyMiddleware, responseInterceptor } = require('http-proxy-middleware');

const proxy = createProxyMiddleware({
  /**
   * IMPORTANT: avoid res.end being called automatically
   **/
  selfHandleResponse: true, // res.end() will be called internally by responseInterceptor()

  /**
   * Intercept response and replace 'Hello' with 'Goodbye'
   **/
  onProxyRes: responseInterceptor(async (responseBuffer, proxyRes, req, res) => {
    const response = responseBuffer.toString('utf8'); // convert buffer to string
    return response.replace('Hello', 'Goodbye'); // manipulate response and return the result
  }),
});
```
