Dev-backend-proxy NPM

About The Project

Frontend developers often face with case, where they should use remote API development server. And if it uses https protocol and some sort cookie-based authorization and/or CORS, you should run https dev environment, that not so often easy to run.

Special case - development under Windows with Docker... It's some sort of BDSM :) And it's a right decision to use remote API in that case.

Having faced these problems more than once, I've made an image and compose for frontend developers that make it easy to proxy a remote backend locally.
