The purpose of this PR is to make it possible to use the middleware outside Express. For example we integrated the library with NestJS using
NestMiddleware
and Fastify.Description
This requires the change of
middleware
type toany
(since there are no internal defined types that can be used instead for now). Additional methodcreateProxy
is added, which returnsHttpProxyMiddleware
, thus exposing themiddleware
directly, giving a bit more flexibility.Motivation and Context
The only exposed method returns an Express
RequestHandler
object, which TypeScript does not recognize as callable in NestJS environment. Changing this toany
allows it to be called from TypeScript.How has this been tested?
Has been tested by deploying to internal servers and thoroughly connected with NestJS.
