A missing link for IPFS compatibility: this module makes links relative on a website, so that one can navigate through the pages when using IPFS. IPFS essentially makes websites run in sub-directories, so if you’re using links that start with /, then they’ll jump to the wrong place.
Installation:
npm install -g https://github.com/tmcw/make-relative
Usage:
This needs to be run in the root of a built website. It will find all HTML files under its current path and rewrite the following references in-place:
- a href, link href
- meta content
- img src
$ make-relative https://expected-domain-name.comThe domain name is required, because that makes this able to make domain-absolute links relative if they point to the same website.
