Spring Boot 2.1.0 only serve index.html if resource not resolved (SPA, react-router)












7















I am serving an SPA made with create-react-app and react-router using Spring Boot 2.1.0 with this configuration



import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ViewControllerRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer;

@Configuration
public class WebMvcConfiguration implements WebMvcConfigurer {

@Override
public void addViewControllers(ViewControllerRegistry registry) {
registry.addViewController("/**/{path:[^\.]+}")
.setViewName("forward:/");
}
}


Basically what it does is always serve index.html unless there's a period in the path. I would like to align this with create-react-app's provided .htaccess. How can I make Spring Boot match this functionality?



RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]

          To reroute "404 : file not found" to "forward:/", which I think is what the .htaccess does, change your WebMvcConfiguration to...



          @Configuration
          public class WebMvcConfiguration implements ErrorViewResolver
          {

          @Override
          public ModelAndView resolveErrorView(HttpServletRequest request, HttpStatus status, Map<String, Object> model) {
          if (status == HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND) {
          return new ModelAndView("forward:/");
          }
          return null;
          }

          }

            You can catch-all unhandled view controller like below when no other route has been found.



            @Configuration
            public class WebMvcConfiguration implements WebMvcConfigurer {

            @Override
            public void addViewControllers(ViewControllerRegistry registry) {
            registry.setOrder(Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE);
            registry.addViewController("/**").setViewName("forward:/index.html");
            }
            }

            Following Kotlin code might help:



            @Configuration
            class WebMvcConfig(val resourceProperties: ResourceProperties) : WebMvcConfigurer {

            override fun addResourceHandlers(registry: ResourceHandlerRegistry) {
            registry.addResourceHandler("/**")
            .addResourceLocations(*resourceProperties.staticLocations)
            .resourceChain(resourceProperties.chain.isCache)
            .addResolver(FallbackPathResourceResolver())
            }

            private class FallbackPathResourceResolver : PathResourceResolver() {
            override fun resolveResource(
            request: HttpServletRequest?,
            requestPath: String,
            locations: MutableList<out Resource>,
            chain: ResourceResolverChain
