Feature request: Specify landing page for root directory
JKVeganAbroad opened this issue · 6 comments
Specify a default landing page for root directory, retain showDir: true everywhere else.
Perhaps rootLanding: 'html/home.html' as an example.
Currently the landing page serves the auto-generated index of files.
(not sure if this should be requested on indexzero/http-server instead?)
Hi @JKAussieSkater, the grunt tasks just passes the showDir parameter to http-server module, which in it's turn is passing that to ecstatic module.
From what I can see on https://github.com/jfhbrook/node-ecstatic/blob/master/lib/ecstatic/showdir.js that's
not possible.
The alternative would be to set the before http-server callback to redirect to another page, e.g. /home.html
Is there a particular use case for this (curious about on what you would render on home.html )?
Sorry, I didn't explain myself properly.
When I navigate to http://0.0.0.0:8282/ I want it to display a "homepage.html".
Instead I get the contents of the root: '/foo/bar/' directory.
Is there an option to specify a homepage, so I don't have to navigate a directory file-tree?
Let me get back to you on that. I think the before middleware callback can be used for that.
Hi @JKAussieSkater I've just added the support to customPages that will help you with your landing page. Please take a look at the README.md.
