How to add proxy to connect with Azure Postgresql? - node.js

Question

I use this script to connect node.js with Azure Postgresql.
But the ssl verification of our firewall blocks the connection, so in the past I need to use a proxy. Where in the code can I add the proxy settings as like host and port?
Means when I start the code, vscode should connect through the proxy to postgresql.
const pg = require('pg');
const config = {
host: '<your-db-server-name>.postgres.database.azure.com',
// Do not hard code your username and password.
// Consider using Node environment variables.
user: '<your-db-username>',
password: '<your-password>',
database: '<name-of-database>',
port: 5432,
ssl: true
};
const client = new pg.Client(config);
client.connect(err => {
if (err) throw err;
else { queryDatabase(); }
});
function queryDatabase() {
console.log(`Running query to PostgreSQL server: ${config.host}`);
const query = 'SELECT * FROM inventory;';
client.query(query)
.then(res => {
const rows = res.rows;
rows.map(row => {
console.log(`Read: ${JSON.stringify(row)}`);
});
process.exit();
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
}

To configure proxy for Visual Studio Code
Edit the settings.json file
Depending on your platform, the user settings file is located here:
Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json
macOS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json
Linux: $HOME/.config/Code/User/settings.json
Modify and Add the below lines to configure your proxy
"http.proxy": "http://user:pass#proxy.com:portnumber",
"https.proxy": "http://user:pass#proxy.com:portnumber",
"http.proxyStrictSSL": false
If your proxy doesn't require authentication, you could simply use
"http.proxy": "http://proxy.com:portnumber",
"https.proxy": "http://proxy.com:portnumber"
"http.proxyStrictSSL": false
Restart VS Code
The documentation related to settings and schema of the settings.json file is here for reference
