Match

In switchhoster, the match is the core unit in the collection that defines the target URI that the current collection can use for switching. By creating multiple matches, you can quickly switch to the specified URI to suit different work scenarios.

Describe

• Name: Provide a concise name for the match to help you quickly identify the role of each match. For example, you can use subdomains for naming.
• Target URI: Defines the target URI after switching. Currently, only the http or https protocol is supported. If the scheme is not specified, the default value is http.

Scheme omission policy

If the input target URI does not contain scheme, http is used by default, that is, https is supported by default to switch from https to http.

Switch https in https If you still want to omit scheme, you can choose to configure force https in the reverse proxy or enter the desired scheme in the target URI option.

Example

www.example.comwill be completedhttp://www.example.com.

Example

Suppose your current URI is https://www.example.com/page?source=google ，and created 3 matches：

Match Name	Target URI	Switch result
www	www.domain.com	No response
sub	sub.domain.com	https://sub.domain.com/page?source=google
dev	localhost:3000	http://localhost:3000/page?source=google

TIP

MacOS users can switch through the shortcut key Option ⌥ + Tab.

Windows and other operating system users will use the Ctrl + Tab key to complete the switch.

Operations

You can perform the following operations on matches to manage and modify matches:

• Create: Create a new match item to the current collection, specifying the match item name and target URI.
• Delete: Deletes the current matching item. This operation cannot be undone. Please confirm before you proceed.
• Save: Saves the changes made to the current matching item to ensure that the changes are updated.
• Discards: Discards all current edits to the matches and returns to the matches list page.
