library0.0.6jsnpmunverified

UI5 middleware for adding basic authentication to proxy requests in UI5 tooling (v0.0.6). It extends the simple proxy from the ui5-ecosystem-showcase, allowing developers to proxy OData or other services behind Basic Auth. Key differentiator: integrates seamlessly with UI5's custom middleware configuration (ui5.yaml) and reads credentials from environment variables (.env). Release cadence: low; last update was 2021. Compared to alternatives like ui5-middleware-proxy, this adds built-in auth support without extra libraries.
