Options

Key Type Default value Description
options object/Array<object> [] Configure which targets you want to proxy. :warning: TIPS: More config object please see h3-proxy's Options, You can pass an array of options for multiple targets or pass an object of options for single target.

:warning: Do not when the value of a certain configuration item is a function type :warning:

  1. Do not use runtimeConfig.proxy for configuration, as the function type value in the runtimeConfig object will be ignored. Please use proxy for configuration as it has undergone special processing on the internal implementation.

  2. Do not use any external variables within the function body.

import foo from 'foo'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    'nuxt-proxy-request'
  ],
  proxy: {
    options: [
      {
        target: 'http://www.example.com',
        pathFilter: function(path, req) {
          console.log(foo) /* At runtime, foo is undefined. */

          return path.match(/^\/api/) && req.method === 'GET';
        },
        pathRewrite: {
          '^/api': ''
        }
      }
    ]
  }
})
  1. Do not use RegExp literal, using new RegExp() instead, in function body.

  2. Do not use Single-Line Comments, using Multiple-Line Comments instead, in function body.

If the above points cause you trouble. You can use h3-proxy directly. See how to use h3-proxy in Nuxt3 Project.
