Quick start

  1. Make sure the plugin is listed in system.config.yml file. This is done automatically for you if you used the command above.

  2. Add the configuration keys to gateway.config.yml file.

policies:
  -
    rewrite:
      -
        condition:
          name: pathmatch
          match: /tina/:code
        action:
          rewrite: /status/:code
          redirect: 302
      -
        condition:
          name: regexpmatch
          match: ^/js/(.*)$
        action:
          rewrite: /src/js/$1

Configuration Parameters

condition.pathmatch: Express Path corresponding to the url pattern to look for.

condition.regexpmatch: RegExp corresponding to the url pattern to look for.

Note: if you provide both expression, the first one that will match will make the Gateway jump to the policy directly.

action.rewrite: Express Path or RegExp corresponding to the url pattern to rewrite. The format should match the one used in the condition.

action.redirect: If omitted, a rewrite action will be performed. When set to a number, it'll redirect the request with the provided status code.
