:ear: backchat

Backchat is a small Node.js proxy utility for recording HTTP traffic and replaying it when the same request is made in the future.

Usage

1. Install the utility with yarn add backchat-proxy
2. Ensure the folder you are using to store the chats is created, by default it is chats/
3. Run the utility from your Node.js modules node_modules/.bin/backchat, or backchat on its own inside package.json scripts (see below for arguments)

| Name | Description | Required | Default | |-----------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|----------|----------| | -p, --port | The port to run the proxy server on | no | 10001 | | -c, --chat-location | The folder path for the chats to be stored | no | chats/ | | -d, --disable-recording | Disable the recording feature and just use the proxy | no | false | | -u, --proxy-url | The URL to proxy all traffic that goes through the proxy to | yes | n/a |

To force a request to override the cached version, simply add a x-backchat-override-record header to the request
