fetch-proxy is an HTTP proxy for the JavaScript Fetch API.
In the context of servers, an HTTP proxy server is a server that forwards all requests it receives to another server and returns the responses it receives. When you think about it this way, a fetch function is like a mini proxy server sitting right there in your code. You send it requests, it goes and talks to some other server, and it gives you back the response it received.
fetch-proxy allows you to easily create fetch functions that act as proxies to "target" servers.
- Built on the standard JavaScript Fetch API
- Supports rewriting

Install from npm:
npm i @mjackson/fetch-proxyimport { createFetchProxy } from '@mjackson/fetch-proxy';
// Create a proxy that sends all requests through to remix.run
let proxy = createFetchProxy('https://remix.run');
// This fetch handler is probably running as part of your server somewhere...
function handleFetch(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
return proxy(request);
}
// Test it out by manually throwing a Request at it
let response = await handleFetch(new Request('https://shopify.com'));
let text = await response.text();
let title = text.match(/<title>([^<]+)<\/title>/)[1];
assert(title.includes('Remix'));node-fetch-server- Build HTTP servers for Node.js using the web fetch API
