server.proxy
type ProxyConfig =
  | Record<string, string | ProxyOptions>
  | ProxyOptions[]
  | ProxyOptions;
 
Configure proxy rules for the dev server or preview server to proxy requests to the specified service.
Example
Basic usage
rsbuild.config.ts
export default {
  server: {
    proxy: {
      // http://localhost:3000/api -> http://localhost:3000/api
      // http://localhost:3000/api/foo -> http://localhost:3000/api/foo
      '/api': 'http://localhost:3000',
    },
  },
};
 
A request to /api/users will now proxy the request to http://localhost:3000/api/users.
You can also proxy to an online domain name, such as:
rsbuild.config.ts
export default {
  server: {
    proxy: {
      // http://localhost:3000/api -> https://nodejs.org/api
      // http://localhost:3000/api/foo -> https://nodejs.org/api/foo
      '/api': 'https://nodejs.org',
    },
  },
};
 
Path rewrite
If you do not want /api to be passed along, we need to rewrite the path:
rsbuild.config.ts
export default {
  server: {
    proxy: {
      // http://localhost:3000/api -> http://localhost:3000
      // http://localhost:3000/api/foo -> http://localhost:3000/foo
      '/api': {
        target: 'http://localhost:3000',
        pathRewrite: { '^/api': '' },
      },
    },
  },
};
 
Proxy WebSocket
To proxy WebSocket requests, set ws to true:
rsbuild.config.ts
export default {
  server: {
    proxy: {
      '/rsbuild-hmr': {
        target: 'http://localhost:3000', // will proxy to ws://localhost:3000/rsbuild-hmr
        ws: true,
      },
    },
  },
};
 
Options
The Rsbuild server proxy uses the http-proxy-middleware package. Check out its documentation for more advanced usage.
The full type definition of Rsbuild server proxy is:
import type { Options as HttpProxyOptions } from 'http-proxy-middleware';
type Filter = string | string[] | ((pathname: string, req: Request) => boolean);
type ProxyOptions = HttpProxyOptions & {
  bypass?: (
    req: IncomingMessage,
    res: ServerResponse,
    proxyOptions: ProxyOptions,
  ) => MaybePromise<string | undefined | null | boolean>;
  context?: Filter;
};
type ProxyConfig =
  | ProxyOptions
  | ProxyOptions[]
  | Record<string, string>
  | Record<string, ProxyOptions>;
 
In addition to the http-proxy-middleware options, Rsbuild also supports the bypass and context options.
bypass
Sometimes you don't want to proxy everything. You can bypass the proxy based on the return value of a bypass function.
In the function, you have access to the request, response, and proxy options.
- Return 
null or undefined to continue processing the request with proxy. 
- Return 
true to continue processing the request without proxy. 
- Return 
false to produce a 404 error for the request. 
- Return a path to serve from, instead of continuing to proxy the request.
 
- Return a Promise to handle the request asynchronously.
 
For example, for a browser request, you want to serve an HTML page, but for an API request, you want to proxy it. You could configure it like this:
rsbuild.config.ts
export default {
  server: {
    proxy: {
      '/api': {
        target: 'http://localhost:3000',
        bypass(req, res, proxyOptions) {
          if (req.headers.accept.indexOf('html') !== -1) {
            console.log('Skipping proxy for browser request.');
            return '/index.html';
          }
        },
      },
    },
  },
};
 
context
Used to proxy multiple specified paths to the same target.
rsbuild.config.ts
export default {
  server: {
    proxy: [
      {
        context: ['/auth', '/api'],
        target: 'http://localhost:3000',
      },
    ],
  },
};
