nodejs equivalent of this .htaccess
Have you tried:
- Serve statics
- Catch /view URL
Catch everything else
app.configure(function(){ app.use(express.static(__dirname+'/public')); // Catch static files app.use(app.routes); }); // Catch /view and do whatever you like app.all('/view', function(req, res) { }); // Catch everything else and redirect to /index.html // Of course you could send the file's content with fs.readFile to avoid // using redirects app.all('*', function(req, res) { res.redirect('/index.html'); });
OR
- Serve statics
Check if URL is /view
app.configure(function(){ app.use(express.static(__dirname+'/public')); // Catch static files app.use(function(req, res, next) { if (req.url == '/view') { next(); } else { res.redirect('/index.html'); } }); });
OR
- Catch statics as usual
Catch NOT /view
app.configure(function(){ app.use(express.static(__dirname+'/public')); // Catch static files app.use(app.routes); }); app.get(/^(?!\/view$).*$/, function(req, res) { res.redirect('/index.html'); });
The final structure is:
var express = require('express'), url = require('url');
var app = express();
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
console.log('%s %s', req.method, req.url);
next();
});
app.configure(function() {
var pub_dir = __dirname + '/public';
app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 8080);
app.engine('.html', require('ejs').__express);
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
app.set('view engine', 'html');
app.use(express.bodyParser());
app.use(express.methodOverride());
app.use(express.cookieParser());
app.use(express.static(pub_dir));
app.use(app.router);
});
app.get('/*', function(req, res) {
if (req.xhr) {
var pathname = url.parse(req.url).pathname;
res.sendfile('index.html', {root: __dirname + '/public' + pathname});
} else {
res.render('index');
}
});
app.listen(app.get('port'));
Thanks everyone. PD: Render html with module ejs
