Even though there exists one Question that is already opened I didnt understand the approaches, but first to the problem itself.
On my local machine my routing works fine.
But when I host it I have the problem that I can navigate to a domain: http://www.example.com
but not to a domain http://www.example.com/privacy-policy
by direct URL Navigation.
The approaches that were suggested looked like:
- htaccess file: So basicly this approach suggested adding these lines to my htaccess:
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}% !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}% !-f RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
I did and my whole file then looked like this as well. But it didnt change a thing. So did I something wrong? Should I implement the htaccess somehow?
- Adding to Firebase.json: The other suggestion was adding following code to my firebase.json file:
"hosting": { "rewrites": [ { "source": "**", "destination": "/index.html" } ] }
My problem is that I dont have a firebase.json file, so what shall I do with this snippet? Is it only relevant when you use firebase hosting?
So I saw the both approaches but I didnt understand how to implement them. I get that the essential problem is trying to push the route on the same index.html file, but Im not understanding how to properly tackle the behaviour. Maybe I dont have the background knowledge to implement the solutions properly
