firebase hosting url rewrite pattern matching












0















How do I rewrite urls like:



http://somedomain.com/page.html



to



http://somedomain.com/DIRECTORY/page.html



in firebase hosting. I tried this in firebase.json but didn't work.



  "rewrites": [ {
"source": "/**.html",
"destination": "/DIRECTORY/**.html"
} ]


How does pattern matching work in firebase hosting config. Help would be appreciated.

          From the Firebase Hosting documentation on rewrites:




          The rewrites attribute contains an array of rewrite rules, where each rule must include:




          • A source specifying a glob pattern


          • A destination, which is a local file that must exist





          So it looks like you can only rewrite to a specific, existing file, not to another wildcard.



          You could consider using redirects instead, since those do support dynamic segments in their destination URL.



          "redirects": [ {
          "source": "/:page*",
          "destination": "http://somedomain.com/DIRECTORY/:page",
          "type": 301
          }]


          This sends a redirect instruction back to the client, so they will be able to see what the final path is.

          • I had seen it earlier but couldn't exactly figure out how it would work in my case. I gave it a try and came up with the config posted in my question which isn't working. Can you post the pattern for my problem (in question)?
