Enable auto opening browser after svrx started. By default, it will open http://localhost:${port} automatically.

You can also specific the opening page by setting open to:

• true: same as 'local'

• 'local': open local url, http://localhost:${port}

• 'external': open external url, http://${your_ip}:${port}/

• 'home.html': same as 'local/home.html', open http://localhost:${port}/home.html

Set open to false to disable auto open browser.

historyApiFallback

boolean, object

Enable/disable historyApiFallback middleware. It is set to false by default.

This option is necessary when your app is using HTML5 History API, historyApiFallback middleware will serve a index.html page instead of 404 responses.

proxy

proxy is also supported in route configuration file

boolean, object, object[]

Proxying urls when you want to send some requests to different backend servers on the same domain.

module.exports = {
    proxy: {
        '/api': {
            target: 'http://you.backend.server.com'  
        }
    },
}

Now a request to /api/path will be proxied to http://you.backend.server.com/api/path.

And you can also rewrite the path, eg:

module.exports = {
    proxy: {
        '/api': {
            target: 'http://you.backend.server.com',
            pathRewrite: {'^/api' : ''} 
        }
    },
}

Then your request to /api/path will be proxied to http://you.backend.server.com/path.

A backend server running on HTTPS with an invalid certificate will not be accepted by default. If you want to, modify your config like this:

module.exports = {
    proxy: {
        '/api': {
            target: 'https://you.https.server.com',
            secure: false 
        }
    },
}

If you want to proxy multiple paths to a same target, try:

module.exports = {
    proxy: [
        {
            context: ['/api', '/wapi', '/pub'],
            target: 'http://you.backend.server.com',
        }  
    ],
}

Please note that by default, the option value of changeOrigin is true, which means svrx will always set the origin of host header to the target hostname during CORS. If you don't want this feature, just set changeOrigin to false:

module.exports = {
    proxy: {
        '/api': {
            target: 'https://you.https.server.com',
            changeOrigin: false 
        }
    },
}

cors

boolean, object

Enable/disable cross-origin resource sharing(CORS). Cors is enabled by default.

svrx makes use of koa2-cors package. Check out its option documentation for more advanced usages.

registry

string

npm config get registry
