NestJS Proxy module Nest Logo

NestJS module to decorate and proxy calls.
It exposes a /proxy endpoint.

Use it

You can import the module like so :

app.module.ts

ProxyModule.forRoot({
    config: {},
    services: [
      {
        id: 'ACCOUNT_INFORMATION_US',
        url: `https://api.fusionfabric.cloud/retail-us/me/account/v1/accounts`,
        config: {}
      }
    ]
}),

Or asynchronously

app.module.ts

ProxyModule.forRootAsync({
    useClass: ProxyConfigService,
    imports: [ConfigModule],
}),

proxy-config.service.ts

import { ConfigService } from '@nestjs/config';
import { Injectable, Logger } from '@nestjs/common';
import { ProxyModuleOptions, ProxyModuleOptionsFactory } from '@finastra/nestjs-proxy';

@Injectable()
export class ProxyConfigService implements ProxyModuleOptionsFactory {
  constructor(private configService: ConfigService) {}

  createModuleConfig(): ProxyModuleOptions {
    const FFDC = this.configService.get('FFDC');

    const services = [
      {
        id: 'ACCOUNT_INFORMATION_US',
        url: `${FFDC}/retail-us/me/account/v1/accounts`,
        config: {}
      };
    ];

    return {
      services,
    };
  }
}

Configuration

Whether synchronously or asynchronously, the module takes two parameters (both optionals).

  • services : which is a collection of urls with a given id so that you can query them more efficiently
  • config : which is the configuration from http-proxy which we're using under the hood. Find the offical documentation of this configuration here.

A service can also take an optional config, which is the same signature as the parent one, allowing you to override configuration for that particular service !

Token forwarding

By default, OAuth token are forwarded to the service call being proxied. You can disable this by setting the forwardToken property to false in the service configuration.

services: [
  {
    id: 'THIRD_PARTY_SERVICE',
    url: 'https://some-service.com/some-endpoint',
    forwardToken: false,
  },
];

Be careful to only forward tokens to internal services. Don't forward the token to third party services.

Cookies forwarding

Cookies are not proxied by default. You can opt in by listing the cookie names in the allowedCookies option:

allowedCookies: ['cookie1', 'cookie2'],

Default module configuration

If you do not provide any, the default proxy configuration for this module can be found in proxy.constants.ts, under defaultProxyOptions

Client-side usage examples

const serverUri = 'http://localhost:3000';
const serviceId = 'ACCOUNT_INFORMATION_US';

fetch(`${serverUri}/proxy?serviceId=${serviceId}`);

// Defining path
const accountId = '112';
const target = `${accountId}/details`;
fetch(`${serverUri}/proxy?serviceId=${serviceId}&target=${target}`);

target parameter is optional

Using module with a service using OIDC module with multitenancy configuration

All proxy calls need to be prefixed by /${TENANT_ID}/${CHANEL_TYPE}
