Hapijs proxy : subdomain routing to maindomain/subdomain - proxy

Question

main domain : "mymain.com"
sub domain : "subdomain.mymain.com"
when i get call from subdomain.mymain.com , i would need to display in browser contents from mymain.com/somepath/subdomain.
i would like to use proxy options in hapi-js and do the above . But with
code like
config: {
handler: function(request, reply) {
let hostValue = request.headers.host;
let path = request.params.path;
let subdomain = hostValue.split('.')[0];
return reply.proxy({
uri: 'http://mymain.com/somepath/subdomain'
});
} \/\/end of handler
} //end of config
i am not able to achieve it . Just page is empty. This is angular based project and angular route does not get executed for this.
But if do for url : subdomain.mymain.com the below
return reply.proxy({
host: 'mymain.com',
port: 80,
protocol: "http"
});
It works fine. Any clue how get this subdomain issue resolved?

Answer 1

In your example, you're not placing the value of subdomain into the url, change it to look like this:
config: {
handler: function(request, reply) {
let hostValue = request.headers.host;
let path = request.params.path;
let subdomain = hostValue.split('.')[0];
return reply.proxy({
uri: 'http://mymain.com/somepath/'+subdomain
});
} \/\/end of handler
} //end of config
Changing this line:
uri: 'http://mymain.com/somepath/subdomain'
to this:
uri: 'http://mymain.com/somepath/'+subdomain
Alternatively, to clean up a bit, you could try using the mapUri config option of h2o2. Something like this:
server.route({
method: 'GET',
path: '/',
handler: {
proxy: {
mapUri: function (request, callback) {
let hostValue = request.headers.host;
let subdomain = hostValue.split('.')[0];
console.log('proxying for', subdomain)
callback(null, 'http://mymain.com/somepath/'+subdomain);
}
}
}
});
