URL SWAP (DEV HELPER)
Instant URL redirects for web‑developers
WHAT IT IS
URL Swap is a lightweight Chrome extension that lets front‑end and full‑stack developers redirect any matching URL to a different host, port or scheme—live, in the browser, with zero code changes.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT
• Rapid environment switching – point your production UI to a local API, staging server or mock backend in seconds.
• 100 % client‑side – no external proxy or SaaS; traffic never leaves your machine.
• Works with fetch, XHR, images, scripts and Web Sockets – perfect for React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Next.js, etc.
• Keeps path & query intact – only the scheme, host or port changes.
• One‑click ON/OFF toggle – disable the rule without losing your settings.
• Chrome Sync support – rules follow you across devices.
TYPICAL USE CASES
• Map api.example.com → http://localhost:8080 to debug production builds locally.
• Switch between /v1/ and /v2/ while migrating to a new API version.
• Redirect third‑party endpoints to mock servers during CI/CD.
• Jump between development, staging and production with a single click.
HOW IT WORKS
Click the extension icon.
In “Text to match”, enter a host or path fragment (wildcards allowed).
In “Redirect to”, type the new scheme / host / port.
Enable the switch and press Save.
Reload your site—matching requests are now rerouted.
Need the panel open all the time? Pin it via the built‑in pop‑out button.
