本项目是由 connect-history-api-fallback 修改完成，在 npm 库中找了前面几个关于 koa2 的 history 中间件，都未返回中间件的指定格式，故做了这个包，其中修改了 url 废弃的 api，改用 koa 请求体中的 url 解析对象。感谢原作者。

Introduction

Single Page Applications (SPA) typically only utilise one index file that is accessible by web browsers: usually index.html. Navigation in the application is then commonly handled using JavaScript with the help of the HTML5 History API. This results in issues when the user hits the refresh button or is directly accessing a page other than the landing page, e.g. /help or /help/online as the web server bypasses the index file to locate the file at this location. As your application is a SPA, the web server will fail trying to retrieve the file and return a 404 - Not Found message to the user.

This tiny middleware addresses some of the issues. Specifically, it will change the requested location to the index you specify (default being /index.html) whenever there is a request which fulfills the following criteria:

1. The request is a GET request
2. which accepts text/html,
3. is not a direct file request, i.e. the requested path does not contain a . (DOT) character and
4. does not match a pattern provided in options.rewrites (see options below)

Usage

The middleware is available through NPM and can easily be added.

npm install @yun-jie/[email protected] -S

Import the library

var history = require("@yun-jie/koa2-history-api-fallback-async");

Now you only need to add the middleware to your application like so

var Koa = require("koa");

var app = new Koa().use(history()).listen(3000);

Options

You can optionally pass options to the library when obtaining the middleware

var middleware = history({});

index

Override the index (default /index.html). This is the request path that will be used when the middleware identifies that the request path needs to be rewritten.

This is not the path to a file on disk. Instead it is the HTTP request path. Downstream connect/express middleware is responsible to turn this rewritten HTTP request path into actual responses, e.g. by reading a file from disk.

history({
  index: "/default.html",
});

rewrites

Override the index when the request url matches a regex pattern. You can either rewrite to a static string or use a function to transform the incoming request.

The following will rewrite a request that matches the /\/soccer/ pattern to /soccer.html.

history({
  rewrites: [{ from: /\/soccer/, to: "/soccer.html" }],
});

Alternatively functions can be used to have more control over the rewrite process. For instance, the following listing shows how requests to /libs/jquery/jquery.1.12.0.min.js and the like can be routed to ./bower_components/libs/jquery/jquery.1.12.0.min.js. You can also make use of this if you have an API version in the URL path.

history({
  rewrites: [
    {
      from: /^\/libs\/.*$/,
      to: function (context) {
        return "/bower_components" + context.parsedUrl.pathname;
      },
    },
  ],
});

The function will always be called with a context object that has the following properties:

• parsedUrl: Information about the URL as provided by the URL module's url.parse.
• match: An Array of matched results as provided by String.match(...).
• request: The HTTP request object.

verbose

This middleware does not log any information by default. If you wish to activate logging, then you can do so via the verbose option or by specifying a logger function.

history({
  verbose: true,
});

Alternatively use your own logger

history({
  logger: console.log.bind(console),
});

htmlAcceptHeaders

Override the default Accepts: headers that are queried when matching HTML content requests (Default: ['text/html', '*/*']).

history({
  htmlAcceptHeaders: ["text/html", "application/xhtml+xml"],
});

disableDotRule

Disables the dot rule mentioned above:

[…] is not a direct file request, i.e. the requested path does not contain a . (DOT) character […]

history({
  disableDotRule: true,
});
