I've been working on resolving the issue of avoiding # in my Angular app with an ExpressJS server-side setup. I found a solution to enable html5mode and it worked well. However, whenever there is another 'get' request to fetch data from a different URL like /api/services, it seems to be broken and doesn't retrieve the data properly for the page.
Below is what I have implemented on the Express end:
router.get('/*', function (req, res, next) {
res.render('index');
});
router.get('/api/service-edit', function (req, res, next) {
Service.find(function (err, services) {
if (err) {return next(err);}
res.json(services);
});
});
I'm not completely certain, but I suspect that the '/*' might be causing issues for the server when reading api URLs. I'm curious if any of you have encountered this problem and have a solution to troubleshoot it.
Thank you for your help.
