express-static-proxy

Simple implementation using node-http-proxy and a configurable regex to match file extensions in a request and forward ones that match to another location.

Installation

npm install --save express-static-proxy

Usage

Initialize like any other piece of middleware in Express. Pass in an options object with a target, and regex of the filetypes to proxy.

• target: string/object - uses the format function from url so you can pas in a string or an object
• regex: string - (jpeg|gif|png|jpg|js|css|ico|woff|svg|ttf|json|map) regular expression like string for the file types to proxy
• Any other settings added will be passed into http-proxy options

Example

var staticProxySettings = {
	target: {
      'protocol' : 'https',
      'hostname' : 'raw.githubusercontent.com',
      'pathname': '/iamdavidjackson/express-static-proxy/master/examples/proxied'
    },
    changeOrigin: true,
    prependPath: true,
    regex: 'jpeg|gif|png|jpg|js|css|ico|woff|svg|ttf|json|map'
};

app.use(require('express-static-proxy')(staticProxySettings));
