{"library":"netlify-cms-proxy-server","title":"Netlify CMS Proxy Server","description":"The `netlify-cms-proxy-server` is an Express-based proxy server designed to facilitate local development for Netlify CMS, which has since been rebranded as Decap CMS. It allows content editors to interact with a local Git repository via the CMS interface running on `localhost`, eliminating the need for a live Git backend during local development. The package's current version is 1.3.24, and it was last published approximately four years ago. Following the rebranding of Netlify CMS to Decap CMS in February 2023, this package has been superseded by `decap-server`, which provides equivalent functionality and is actively maintained. Users are strongly advised to migrate to `decap-server` for current features, support, and security updates, as `netlify-cms-proxy-server` is considered deprecated.","language":"javascript","status":"deprecated","last_verified":"Sun Apr 19","install":{"commands":["npm install netlify-cms-proxy-server"],"cli":{"name":"netlify-cms-proxy-server","version":null}},"imports":["npx netlify-cms-proxy-server","const { registerLocalFs } = require('netlify-cms-proxy-server/dist/middlewares');","const middlewares = require('netlify-cms-proxy-server/dist/middlewares');"],"auth":{"required":false,"env_vars":[]},"quickstart":{"code":"npx netlify-cms-proxy-server\n# In your config.yml:\n# backend:\n#   name: proxy\n#   proxy_url: http://localhost:8081/api/v1\n#   branch: master # optional, defaults to master\n\n# To customize port or repo directory via .env:\n# GIT_REPO_DIRECTORY=FULL_PATH_TO_LOCAL_GIT_REPO\n# PORT=CUSTOM_PORT\n\n# Example .env file:\n# PORT=8082\n# GIT_REPO_DIRECTORY=/Users/username/my-git-repo","lang":"bash","description":"Demonstrates how to start the proxy server using npx and configure your `config.yml` for local development.
