Apply config when running dev server

[anthonychu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When running a dev server, config like rewrites, authorization are not applied.

Describe the solution you'd like
Apply config even when running dev server

• staticwebapp.config.json in current directory: swa start http://localhost:8080
• staticwebapp.config.json elsewhere: swa start http://localhost:8080 --routes-location web (or whatever the option is eventually named Rename --routes-location #175)

Config should apply to function app routes as well.

staticwebapp.config.json in current directory: swa start http://localhost:8080

This can be easily fixed by removing this check:

static-web-apps-cli/src/proxy/server.ts

Lines 310 to 312 in 888bbcd

	if (!isStaticDevServer) {
	userConfig = await handleUserConfig(SWA_CLI_ROUTES_LOCATION || SWA_CLI_APP_LOCATION);
	}

@anthonychu @manekinekko can I take a look here? Do you have some guidance for a first-issuer? 😂

[manekinekko]

Thank you @fgiuliani for offering your help. Please have a look at our contributing guide in order to get started.

@fgiuliani We are planning to cut a minor release by end of week. Are you able to send a PR this week?

[fgiuliani]

Hi @manekinekko!
I'm able to work on this issue this week, but I think I need some guidance about the changes to be made.
I was looking at the contributing guide and the code of the app and I'm not sure I get what has to be done.

Thank you for the help and sorry for bothering you!

[manekinekko]

Hey @fgiuliani we are going to refactor the proxy implementation (in #186) and this change will be affected. So we're gonna delay this feature for now.

[fgiuliani]

got it @manekinekko. Thank you!

[anthonychu]

This should be addressed in #208
