Using Nuxt routeRules as a reverse proxy

Last updated: Dec 08, 2023

Nuxt 3 uses Nitro under the hood, which provides the routeRules config that can be used to proxy requests from one route to another.

To do this, add the following routeRules to your nuxt.config.ts file:

JavaScript

// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
    routeRules: {
        '/ingest/**': { proxy: 'https://app.posthog.com/**' },
    },
});

Then configure the PostHog client to send requests via your new proxy:

JavaScript

const posthogClient = posthog.init(runtimeConfig.public.posthogPublicKey, {
    api_host: 'https://your-host.com/ingest',
    ui_host: 'https://app.posthog.com', // or https://eu.posthog.com if your PostHog is hosted in Europe
});
