How to post request in node js using http-proxy-middleware

 

Recently we faced issue to post the request via api server to another server to fix follow the 

code as below:

In node app.js use following to proxy post request to different server:

const postProxy = createProxyMiddleware({

target: 'http://localhost:4000/', // Target server

changeOrigin: true, // Change the origin header to the target URL

pathRewrite: {

'^/api': '', // Remove /api from the path when forwarding

},

on: {

proxyReq: fixRequestBody

},

onProxyReq: (proxyReq, req, res) => {

// Forward request body for POST requests

if (req.body && Object.keys(req.body).length > 0) {

const bodyData = JSON.stringify(req.body);

proxyReq.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');

proxyReq.setHeader('Content-Length', Buffer.byteLength(bodyData));

proxyReq.write(bodyData);

console.log(proxyReq);

}

},

logLevel: 'debug', // Enable detailed logs

});

// Proxy POST requests to /api/*

app.use(

'/api', postProxy

);

Cheers

Happy Coding !!
