I'm using react-engine to supply the server with access to react components. With react-engine you can feed an express react by routing a url and using res.render. To do this you need to provide a path the docs specify req.url.
app.use("/", function(req, res){
return res.render(req.url, data);
})
Now when the url is /index that will be passed into react-router and the react route will be compiled into a string as returned at that endpoint.
The issue I'm having is when the url has a period.
Whenever there is a period in the get query (/index.html) or the route path itself (/index?example=foo.bar) I get an error stating the following.
Cannot find module 'html'
or
Cannot find module 'bar'
respectively.
Do I have to escape periods to the url?
res.render(req.url.replace(/\./g, ""), data)
How can I get rid of the Cannot find module 'extension' message?
I also put a specific issue here in react-engine on github.
