Add _redirects file to root path for Vue SPA hoste

问题:

I'm developing a Single Page App using Vue CLI and want history pushstate to work so I get clean URLs.

I have to follow this: https://www.netlify.com/docs/redirects/#history-pushstate-and-single-page-apps and add a _redirects file to the root of my site folder with the following:

/*    /index.html   200

The problem is I don't know how to add this _redirects file to the root of my dist folder. I tried adding it to the static folder but it ends up in a subfolder and not in root. How can I include this file so that history mode works after deploying on Netlify ?

// config/index.js
build: {
  // Paths
  assetsRoot: path.resolve(__dirname, '../dist'),
  assetsSubDirectory: 'static',
  assetsPublicPath: '/',

vue-cli created app 3.x

For the new build setup using the vue-cli version 3.0.0-beta.x there is a public folder now and you do not need the following setup. Just put your _redirects file under the public folder root. When you build it will make a copy to the dist folder which will be used for your deploy.

vue-cli created app prior to 3.x

Vue.js uses webpack to copy the static assets. This is maintained in webpack.prod.conf.js for the production build which is what you will need in this case for Netlify. I believe the best and cleanest configuration is based on this solution.

Search the file for the new CopyWebpackPlugin in webpack.prod.conf.js.

// copy custom static assets
new CopyWebpackPlugin([
  {
    from: path.resolve(__dirname, '../static'),
    to: config.build.assetsSubDirectory,
    ignore: ['.*']
  }
])

Create a root ( folder in your project same level of the static folder ) You could name this anything you like, but I will use root for the example.

You would then make sure the _redirects file is in the new root directory or whatever you called it. In this case it is named root

Now modify the webpack.prod.conf.js CopyWebpackPlugin section to look like the following:

// copy custom static assets
new CopyWebpackPlugin([
  {
    from: path.resolve(__dirname, '../static'),
    to: config.build.assetsSubDirectory,
    ignore: ['.*']
  },
  {
    from: path.resolve(__dirname, '../root'),
    to: config.build.assetsRoot,
    ignore: ['.*']
  }
])

You could also just use the netlify.toml file which tends to be a bit cleaner. Just put this in the file to get the redirect you were looking for:

# The following redirect is intended for use with most SPA's that handles routing internally.
[[redirects]]
  from = "/*"
  to = "/index.html"
  status = 200

You can find more info about the netlify.toml file here.

I've tried Rutger Willems's snippet without the last line and it works. Credit goes to Hamish Moffatt.

[[redirects]]
  from = "/*"
  to = "/index.html"
  status = 200

You can simply add the _redirects file to your /public directory in your vue app
