API Gateway with Express and http-proxy-middleware

This repository contains an example of an API gateway created using Express.js and the http-proxy-middleware. This gateway can route specific API routes to different target backend servers and modify requests as needed. For instance, it can route the "/api/authentication" route to a local server, the "/api/community" route to another server, and the "/api/event" route to yet another server.

Routing Settings

1. This API gateway includes an array of route settings called routes. Each route setting defines how a specific API route should be routed and modified. Here's an example route setting:

   {
   context: "/api/authentication",
   target: "https://localhost:7232",
   secure: false,
   auth: false,
   changeOrigin: true,
   pathRewrite: { "^/api/authentication": "/authentication" },
   methods: ["GET", "POST", "PUT"],
   }

Alan	Açıklama
context	Anahtar bir API rotasını belirtir.
target	Yönlendirilen hedef sunucunun URL'sini belirtir.
