How to set up local subdomains for Node.js app
I'm the author of the module :)
For each new subdomain you wish to test locally you must add into your /etc/hosts file. So for example:
localhost is:
127.0.0.1 localhost
a new subdomain would be..
127.0.0.1 sub1.localhost
and another..
127.0.0.1 sub2.localhost
Check out what I have done in the tests.
I had same exact problem and I found a simple solution. Instead of writing sub1.localhost
try replacing localhost
with lvh.me
this is a domain that always resolves to localhost and now whenever you write sub1.lvh.me
even though a port like sub1.lvh.me:3000
it will still work.
There is an awesome website, which someone hosted for all of us.
localtest.me
All requests will be routed to 127.0.0.1, including subdomains.e.g something.localtest.me:3000
will resolve to 127.0.0.1:3000
but, for example, in your Express app, if you do
app.get('*', (req, res) => { console.log(req.subdomains); // [ something ] });
you'll get your subdomain
