Apache Web Server (httpd) - Files over proxy pass - apache

Question

I have an Apache httpd setup with VirtualHost
I am doing some ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse so I can redirect calls to a local server.
What I want is to have the ability to mock some endpoints with files on the apache server if they exist.
So for example I have the endpoint
http://localhost:8080/myapp/myendpoint
and now when I run
http://localhost/myapp/myendpoint
apache with my VirtualHost setup redirects the calls to my local server
Now lets say I put a file in {apache main dir}/htdocs/myapp/ called myendpoint .
If I remove the Location tag with ProxyPass in VirtualHost calling
http://localhost/myapp/myendpoint returns the results of the file in htdocs. But if I leave the above Location tag in the configuration it ignores the file and goes to the server.
How can I configure Apache Web Server to give priority to the file before doing the proxypass?

Instead of
ProxyPass /localhost/myapp/ http://localhost:8080/localhost/myapp/
ProxyPassReverse /localhost/myapp/ http://localhost:8080/localhost/myapp/
You can try with
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /localhost/myapp/ http://localhost:8080%{REQUEST_URI} [P]
ProxyPassReverse /localhost/myapp/ http://localhost:8080/localhost/myapp/
