@types/connect-history-api-fallback

What is @types/connect-history-api-fallback?

@types/connect-history-api-fallback provides TypeScript type definitions for the connect-history-api-fallback middleware. This middleware is used in single-page applications (SPAs) to handle the fallback for HTML5 history API, ensuring that the application can handle deep links and refreshes properly by redirecting all non-API requests to the index.html file.

What are @types/connect-history-api-fallback's main functionalities?

Basic Usage

This code demonstrates the basic usage of the connect-history-api-fallback middleware in an Express application. It sets up the middleware to handle fallback for HTML5 history API and serves static files from the 'public' directory.

const history = require('connect-history-api-fallback');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.use(history());
app.use(express.static('public'));

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running on port 3000');
});

Custom Options

This code demonstrates how to use the connect-history-api-fallback middleware with custom options. The 'index' option specifies the fallback file, and the 'verbose' option enables logging of the rewrite process.

const history = require('connect-history-api-fallback');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

const options = {
  index: '/index.html',
  verbose: true
};

app.use(history(options));
app.use(express.static('public'));

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running on port 3000');
});
