A browser extension that allows you to quickly switch between domain names (hostnames) while keeping intact the rest of your current URL path.
Why would you want to do this? Developers often test specific pages or application paths and need to check things out quickly on an alternate environment (like jumping between a local dev environment and a QA or PROD system or a localhost proxy that's on a different port than production) — it’s way faster and less intrusive to your workflow if you don’t have to manually fiddle with the address in the browser location bar!
- Once the extension is installed, its icon will appear in your address bar.
- Click on the Domain Swapper icon, then click the
Settings…button to open the Settings panel. - Use the + Add Domain input to add domain names / hostnames that you regularly need to switch between. These can include port numbers (e.g.
localhost:3000), but shouldn’t include protocols or trailing slashes (e.g. just put inexample.cominstead ofhttps://example.com). - Close the Settings panel, and now when you click on the Domain Swapper icon in your address bar you will see your customized list of domain names. Click one of those when you're needing to jump over to that other address!
