Add ignorePrefixes options

[dominik-korsa]

🚀 Feature Proposal

Add ignorePrefixes option, which takes an array. All requests made to those routes would not get handled by fastify-http-proxy.

Motivation

I'd like to proxy my Vue.js development server to the root prefix (/). I also want to have /api/ routes on the same server.

Example

await server.register(FastifyHttpProxy, {
  upstream: 'http://localhost:8080',
});
await server.register(registerOAuth, { prefix: '/api/oauth', logLevel: 'info' });
await server.register(registerWebsiteApi, { prefix: '/api/website', logLevel: 'info' });

Disclosure

I'm new to Fastify, so this might already be possible without modifying fastify-http-proxy. If it's the case I'd ask for an example of how to do this (maybe it's a good idea to place it in README.md). Thanks!

Okay, nevermind, I was making a GET request to a POST endpoint. When I used POST the /api endpoint handled it correctly.

[dominik-korsa]

Reopening, as this would still be helpful, by returning 404 errors (ie. not matching) on prefixes like /ignored-prefix/this-page-doesnt-exist when /ignored-prefix is ignored.

This could be accomplished using constraints
