+### `ejectPlugins` (boolean) default: `false`
+
+If you're not satisfied with the pre-configured plugins, you can eject them by configuring `ejectPlugins: true`.
+
+NOTE: register your own error handlers to prevent server from crashing.
+
+```js
+// eject default plugins and manually add them back
+
+const {
+  debugProxyErrorsPlugin, // subscribe to proxy errors to prevent server from crashing
+  loggerPlugin, // log proxy events to a logger (ie. console)
+  errorResponsePlugin, // return 5xx response on proxy error
+  proxyEventsPlugin, // implements the "on:" option
+} = require('http-proxy-middleware/plugins/default');
+
+createProxyMiddleware({
+  target: `http://example.org`,
+  changeOrigin: true,
+  ejectPlugins: true,
+  plugins: [debugProxyErrorsPlugin, loggerPlugin, errorResponsePlugin, proxyEventsPlugin],
+});
+```
+
 ### `logger` (Object)
 
 Configure a logger to output information from http-proxy-middleware: ie. `console`, `winston`, `pino`, `bunyan`, `log4js`, etc...
