please expand on rewrite function purpose

[mcshaz]

Thank you for writing this. Ideally there would be discussions open on this repo.

Can I please ask what the point of the line of code: rewrite: (path) => path.replace(/^\/api/, '/api') - i.e rewrite to repace the same string as the one searched for?

I've opened discussions,

The main purpose of that line was more of a placeholder to show that you could do a rewrite. I should have explained it a bit more.
