I have a nestJS project and i want to proxy all API requests(using http-proxy-middleware) except the routes defined in the nestJS modules.

but nestJS seems to place app.use requests as priority.

How do I tell nestJS to take the AppModule routes as priority and call /api from the proxy only when the route is not present in the AppModule

e.g when I call /api/dosomething it says not found

    // AppModule contains routes such as `/api/dosomething
    const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
    
    
    app.use('/api/*', proxy.createProxyMiddleware({
      target: '/path/to/service', // contains /api/doanotherthing
      changeOrigin: true,
      secure: false,
    })
  );
