Base Directory for a module in App Engine yaml file

Question

I started working with App Engine today and I am trying to find a way to set a root folder for each of my modules/services. Example:

Folder Structure

• /mod1/*
• /mod2/*
• dispatch.yaml
• app.yaml
• mod1.yaml
• mod2.yaml

Is it possible to set the base directory for a module in App Engine yaml file?

Something similar to RewriteBase / in apache. This way in my mod1.yaml I dont have to specify the mod1 directory 30 time for each endpoints.

Maybe a commend in the dispactch.yaml

  - url: "api-dot-lyreka-com.appspot.com/"
    module: api
    path: /mod1 -- Just for example. Something like that

I have been looking for a couple hours now.

Answer 1

Just move the module .yaml files inside the respective module dir which makes that module dir become the "root" of the module, so you don't need to specify it anymore. More details here:

• Run Google App Engine application with microservice
• New project structure for Google App Engine

Note: each module only sees what's inside its "root" dir, nothing above it is deployed when the module is deployed. But you can symlink stuff in each of the module dir to share it across modules: Sharing entities between App Engine modules
