Hosting SPA with Static Website option on Azure Blob Storage (clean URLs and Deep links)

I think I found a solution

1. Add a new rule

2. Condition: URL file extension

   a. Operator: Less than

   b. Extension: 1

   c. Case transform: No transform

   [This basically means that the URL requested has no file (extension) but is a route of the app which will be taken care of by the app routing]

3. Action: URL rewrite

   a. Source pattern: /

   b. Destination: /index.html

   c. Preserve unmatched path: No

4. Save rule

.

Here's a simpler / possibly more correct solution:

• leave /static/* be
• rewrite everything else to /index.html

So, index.html is served in response to deep links like /users/ and let's say /users/alexa.siri.
