After ui is built, go to the ui/assets/index.[hash].js file and add this code at the top of the file:

export async function fetch(input, init) {
    const fetch = window.__TAURI__.http.fetch

    const params = {
        ...init,
        body: {
            type: 'Text',
            payload: init.body
        }
    };

    if(params.body.payload instanceof URLSearchParams) {
        params.body.payload = params.body.payload.toString()
    }

    if(init.method === 'GET' || 'body' in init === false || init.body === null) {
        delete params.body
    }

    const res = await fetch(input.toString(), params)

    return new Response(JSON.stringify(res.data), res)
}

npm run dev

npm run build

git clone https://github.com/flawiddsouza/Restfox
cd Restfox/packages/ui
npm i
npm run build-web-standalone
cd ../web-standalone

npm start

By default npm start will run Restfox at port 4004. You can override the port by passing port like so PORT=5040 npm start.

First refer to Compiling Web Standalone to build successfully locally and use it normally. Then in the project root directory (directory with Dockerfile), execute:

docker build -t restfox:xx .

Note: xx is the version number

After the build is complete, use the following command to start the service:

docker run -d -p:4004:4004 restfox:xx

Visit after successful startup: localhost:4004

Alternatively, you can also use the pre-built Docker image available on Docker Hub. See: Docker.
