history routing problem

The problem that nginx in history routing mode cannot match the routing of the project.

Preface

Modern front-end engineering projects generally use the history routing mode or the hash routing mode. The history routing mode is based on the HTML5 History API , while the hash routing mode is based on the hash value of the URL API .

The two are applicable to different scenarios. The history routing mode is suitable for multi-page applications (MPA), especially applications with SEO requirements, while the hash routing mode is suitable for single-page applications (SPA), such as the classic backend management system.

When deploying modern front-end engineering projects, you need to choose the history routing mode or the hash routing mode according to the actual situation, and adjust the project's routing configuration accordingly.

Identify the problem

For the hash routing mode, no special configuration is generally required. For the history routing mode, the home page route may be opened, but after jumping to other routes and refreshing, the page is lost because nginx cannot match the project route.

Solution

To solve the problem that nginx in history routing mode cannot match the routing of the project, you need to add the following configuration to the nginx configuration file:

nginx.conf
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; #Solve the problem of history route matching failure
}
