9092 :: How to render html after a refresh on a specific url

• masahiro (orginal) [2022-04-08T20:31:58+02:00] view original

  I am implementing routing with karax and refreshing a page outside of the root path returns a 404 response. I am assuming that this is probably a problem because index.html is the starting point and there is no other root html. I have implemented the routing based on the routing on the nim forum, but is there any way to render the page even if it is refreshed in /blogs, etc.?

  I am new to nim so any advice would be great. Thanks.

  This is a repo I created based on the nim forum code.

  I guess your browser side routing works by rewriting the url. This works but the browser do not send a http get to the url, but just rewrites the url. When a refresh occurs, the browser sends a http get to the rewritten url (which does not exist).

  So you have a few options now:

  1. rewrite the Query / Parameters part (?site and or &site) or the Fragment (#site) of the url.
  2. change the webserver config so that every page of your domain gets your html js returned

  Thanks for the reply.

  The second method matches and I will proceed with the implementation that way!

  Thanks for the quick reply.
