An localhost HTTP proxy is useful for debugging and can be easily defined using Node.js by installing http-proxy
1yarn add http-proxy
And then adding the following to an index.js
file:
index.js
1const httpProxy = require('http-proxy')2
3const target = 'http://my-target-website.com:1234'4
5httpProxy.createProxyServer({ target }).listen(8080)
Which will create a server that listens on 8080
and will proxy requests to the target
