👂 backchat

Backchat is a small Node.js proxy utility for recording HTTP traffic and replaying it when the same request is made in the future.

Usage

Install the utility with yarn add backchat-proxy
Ensure the folder you are using to store the chats is created, by default it is chats/
Run the utility from your Node.js modules node_modules/.bin/backchat, or backchat on its own inside package.json scripts (see below for arguments)
