#server.proxy

• Type: Record<string, string> | Record<string, ProxyOptions> | ProxyOptions[] | ProxyOptions
• Default: undefined

Configure proxy rules for the dev server or preview server to proxy requests to the specified service.

#Example

#Basic usage

export default {
  server: {
    proxy: {
      // http://localhost:3000/api -> http://localhost:3000/api
      // http://localhost:3000/api/foo -> http://localhost:3000/api/foo
      '/api': 'http://localhost:3000',
    },
  },
};

A request to /api/users will now proxy the request to http://localhost:3000/api/users.

You can also proxy to an online domain name, such as:

export default {
  server: {
    proxy: {
      // http://localhost:3000/api -> https://nodejs.org/api
      // http://localhost:3000/api/foo -> https://nodejs.org/api/foo
      '/api': 'https://nodejs.org',
    },
  },
};

#Path rewrite

If you don't want /api to be passed along, we need to rewrite the path:

export default {
  server: {
    proxy: {
      // http://localhost:3000/api -> http://localhost:3000
      // http://localhost:3000/api/foo -> http://localhost:3000/foo
      '/api': {
        target: 'http://localhost:3000',
        pathRewrite: { '^/api': '' },
      },
    },
  },
};

#Proxy WebSocket

To proxy WebSocket requests, you can enable it through set ws to true:

export default {
  server: {
    proxy: {
      '/rsbuild-hmr': {
        target: 'http://localhost:3000', // will proxy to ws://localhost:3000/rsbuild-hmr
        ws: true,
      },
    },
  },
};

#Options

The Rsbuild server proxy makes use of the http-proxy-middleware package. Check out its documentation for more advanced usages.

The full type definition of Rsbuild server proxy is:

import type { Options as HttpProxyOptions } from 'http-proxy-middleware';

type Filter = string | string[] | ((pathname: string, req: Request) => boolean);

type ProxyOptions = HttpProxyOptions & {
  bypass?: (
    req: IncomingMessage,
    res: ServerResponse,
    proxyOptions: ProxyOptions,
  ) => MaybePromise<string | undefined | null | boolean>;
  context?: Filter;
};

type ProxyConfig =
  | ProxyOptions
  | ProxyOptions[]
  | Record<string, string>
  | Record<string, ProxyOptions>;

In addition to the http-proxy-middleware option, Rsbuild also support the bypass and context options.

#bypass

Sometimes you don't want to proxy everything. It is possible to bypass the proxy based on the return value of a bypass function.

In the function, you get access to the request, response, and proxy options.

• Return null or undefined to continue processing the request with proxy.
• Return true to continue processing the request without proxy.
• Return false to produce a 404 error for the request.
• Return a path to serve from, instead of continuing to proxy the request.
• Return a Promise to handle the request asynchronously.

E.g. for a browser request, you want to serve an HTML page, but for an API request, you want to proxy it. You could configure like this:

export default {
  server: {
    proxy: {
      '/api': {
        target: 'http://localhost:3000',
        bypass(req, res, proxyOptions) {
          if (req.headers.accept.indexOf('html') !== -1) {
            console.log('Skipping proxy for browser request.');
            return '/index.html';
          }
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

#context

Used to proxy multiple specified paths to the same target.

export default {
  server: {
    proxy: [
      {
        context: ['/auth', '/api'],
        target: 'http://localhost:3000',
      },
    ],
  },
};
