Firebase CLI: "Configure as a single-page app (rewrite all urls to /index.html)"
Full example:
{
"hosting": {
"public": ".",
"rewrites": [
{
"source": "**",
"destination": "/index.html"
}
]
}
}
If you set it to yes, then all invalid URLs like www.example.com/some-invalid-url
will be redirected to index.html
of your site which is a good thing. You can also set it to your custom 404.html
.
firebase.json
{
"hosting": {
"public": "pubic",
"ignore": ["firebase.json", "**/.*", "**/node_modules/**"],
"rewrites": [
{
"source": "**",
"destination": "/index.html"
}
],
"cleanUrls": true
}
}
Bonus: set the cleanUrls
to true
to remove .html
extensions from your deployed website urls else all urls without .html
will redirect to index.html
.
That option simply sets a flag in the firebase.json
file to redirect all URLs to /index.html
.
"rewrites": [ {
"source": "**",
"destination": "/index.html"
} ]
See the documentation of Firebase Hosting for more information, which also contains this fuller example:
"hosting": { // ... // Add the "rewrites" attribute within "hosting" "rewrites": [ { // Serves index.html for requests to files or directories that do not exist "source": "**", "destination": "/index.html" }, { // Serves index.html for requests to both "/foo" and "/foo/**" // Using "/foo/**" only matches paths like "/foo/xyz", but not "/foo" "source": "/foo{,/**}", "destination": "/index.html" }, { // Excludes specified pathways from rewrites "source": "!/@(js|css)/**", "destination": "/index.html" } ] }
