Description

Override network calls. Configurable via network-overrides Node package.

Via the combination of a CLI and a browser extension, define sets of browser-side redirects (overrides) programmatically from the command line.

It was designed to allow one to develop web client-side apps on top of an external environment (ex: test or production) using assets served from one (or multiple) local dev-server(s).

Additionally, by having the command line as a source of truth, one can ensure that a set of overrides are only in place while the related process is running (ex: dev-server).

Extremely useful for front-end development. Setting up takes some time but very well worth it. Allows replacing client-side files without having to fiddle with local proxy servers (which may not be that trivial if you need to deal with some complex enterprise web application). Having the override configuration stored in the source code is very convenient. A lot more versatile than Chromium's built-in override functionality.
