Troubleshooting Common Issues in Nuxt Community – Proxy Module

Project Description

 

The Nuxt Community Proxy module is a plugin for the Nuxt.js framework that allows you to easily proxy HTTP requests to a different server or service. It can be useful in situations where you want to make requests to an external API or backend service from your Nuxt app, but don’t want to expose the API’s URL directly to your users.

By using the Nuxt Community Proxy module, you can specify a proxy URL that your app will use to make requests to the external service. The module will then handle the proxying of requests for you, forwarding them to the appropriate server and returning the response to your app. This can help to hide the details of your external service from your users and add an additional layer of security to your app.

To use the Nuxt Community Proxy module, you need to install it as a dependency for your Nuxt app and configure it with the proxy URL and any additional options that you want to use. Once configured, you can use the module to make HTTP requests to the external service as you would normally, and the module will handle the proxying of the requests for you.

 

Troubleshooting Nuxt Community – Proxy Module with the Lightrun Developer Observability Platform

 

Getting a sense of what’s actually happening inside a live application is a frustrating experience, one that relies mostly on querying and observing whatever logs were written during development.
Lightrun is a Developer Observability Platform, allowing developers to add telemetry to live applications in real-time, on-demand, and right from the IDE.
  • Instantly add logs to, set metrics in, and take snapshots of live applications
  • Insights delivered straight to your IDE or CLI
  • Works where you do: dev, QA, staging, CI/CD, and production

The most common issues for Nuxt Community – Proxy Module are:

 

SSR: Axios request fails with 404 when using a proxy

 

To access the backend api, ensure that your environment is set with API_URL: http://backend.com. then use this setting:

 axios: {
    proxy: true,
    prefix: '/api/'
  },

  proxy: {
    '/api/': {
      target: API_URL,
      pathRewrite: { '^/api/': '' }
    }
  },

To ensure maximum efficiency, a proxied request was sent to the backend URL from either localhost (development) or the frontend url (production), allowing both server and client-side requests to function properly.
