Hello,

what is the purpose of 'shouldAbortProxy' in :

https://github.com/jkyberneees/fastify-gateway/blob/master/index.js#L6-L8 ?

Thanks

hi @matth-c3, as described:

async onRequest (req, reply) {
      //   // we can optionally reply from here if required
      //   reply.send('Hello World!')
      //
      //   return true // truthy value returned will abort the request forwarding
},

The shouldAbortProxy holds the result of the onRequest hook execution, it allows developers to completely abort the request forwarding at gateway level.

Use cases:

• cache
• aggregations
• validation
• ...
