ReverseProxy
What is this?
Terraform is a simple Plug that intercepts requests to missing routes, and forwards them along to somewhere else of your choosing. The main use-case for this is to incrementally replace an API with Phoenix.
Demo
mix do deps.get, deps.compile
iex -S mix phoenix.server
Try to do a GET to localhost:4000/v1/{foo,bar,baz} – they should work as normal.
Then, try a GET to localhost:4000/v1/gifs/search?q=funny+cat&api_key=dc6zaTOxFJmzC – this should forward the request to Giphy's public API and respond accordingly with funny cats.
You can also try a GET to localhost:4000/v1/hello-world, which is an example of directly matching a request by path.
Setup
To start your Phoenix app:
- Install dependencies with
mix deps.get - Start Phoenix endpoint with
mix phoenix.server
Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.
