Description

fromConfig(config, options)

static

Creates a new FrontendHostDiscovery discovery instance by reading the external target URL from the discovery.endpoints config section.

eg.

discovery:
endpoints:
- target: https://internal.example.com/internal-catalog
plugins: [catalog]
- target: https://internal.example.com/secure/api/{{pluginId}}
plugins: [auth, permissions]
- target:
internal: https://internal.example.com/search
external: https://example.com/search
plugins: [search]

If a plugin is not declared in the config, the discovery will fall back to using the baseUrl with the provided pathPattern appended. The default path pattern is "/api/{{ pluginId }}".
