About
Redirect to Local Server is a powerful Chrome extension designed to simplify the workflow for developers working with live frontend applications and local backend servers. By enabling seamless redirection of API requests from the live environment to your local server, this tool bridges the gap between development and production environments. With this extension, developers can bypass the need for tools like Postman and Insomnia to test and debug API requests. Instead, you can test, debug, and integrate backend services directly within your browser while maintaining the full functionality of a live frontend. Key Features: 1. Seamlessly connect your live frontend to a local server for real-time API testing. 2. Eliminate the need for tools like Postman or Insomnia by directly handling API requests in your browser. 3. Use placeholders (#) to dynamically support paths and query parameters for flexible redirection. 4. Redirect a group of APIs with a single placeholder (#) for easier management. 5. Control which APIs and features are active with simple ON/OFF buttons for the extension. Install Redirect to Local Server and supercharge your debugging and testing capabilities today!
