Values, debug, and plugin rules

Reusable values

Open Values to create named text, JSON, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, or rule fragments. Names may contain / to create visual groups.

Values are useful for bodies and header maps that are too large for a single rule line. PostGate can also resolve fenced inline values, local files, external rule includes, and bodies loaded from remote HTTP(S) resources.

When a value is renamed, update every rule that references the old name.

Debug rules

Attach the browser debug bridge to matching HTML documents:

Text
example.com debug://example.com/app debug://checkout

Enabling a debug rule starts the local DevTools service. PostGate injects its Chobitsu/CDP client into matching pages, which appear in DevTools after they load. Continue with the Debug guide.

Plugin rules

An enabled plugin runs only for traffic attached through plugin://:

Text
api.example.com plugin://mock-api?mode=fixture&tenant=local

Query parameters are URL-decoded into context.ruleConfig. A request hook may return a complete response to skip the upstream request; a response hook may edit the upstream result. See Plugins for the package contract and runtime limits.
