I am using Meteor as the backend to my ionic+angular webApp. I'm deploying the app using meteor-up. I have put my entire app in the Meteor /public folder and it works find when I access it like this:
http://localhost:3000/index.html
How can I set/rewrite/redirect the Meteor default page so I can load the same page from:
http://localhost:3000/ or http://localhost:3000/myApp
without losing my Meteor server
Here is the complete solution:
fs = Npm.require('fs');
crypto = Npm.require('crypto');
WebApp.connectHandlers.use("/", function(req, res, next) {
var data, filepath;
if (req.method !== 'GET') {
return next();
}
filepath = process.env.PWD + '/public/index.html';
// serve default file, with eTag,
// i.e. http://localhost:3000/
fs.readFile(filepath, function(err, buf) {
var eTag;
eTag = crypto.createHash('md5').update(buf).digest('hex');
if (req.headers['if-none-match'] === eTag) {
res.writeHead(304, 'Not Modified');
return res.end();
}
res.writeHead(200, {
'ETag': eTag,
'Content-Type': 'text/html'
});
return res.end(buf);
});
return;
// serve default file, without eTag or caching headers
// i.e. http://localhost:3000/
data = fs.readFileSync(filepath);
res.writeHead(200, {
'Content-Type': 'text/html'
});
res.write(data);
return res.end();
// redirect to default file
// i.e. http://localhost:3000/index.html
res.writeHead(301, {
'Location': '/index.html'
});
return res.end();
});
