How to ? - Rewrite and default doc

[alvipeo]

For Angular 4 app in my ASP.NET Core MVC app I need to set up Core MVC Rewrite so:

• when localhost/app is requested, it responds with the default localhost/app/index.html (where ng app resides)
• when localhost/app/[anything], then it should still respond with index.html (same localhost/app/index.html), but [anything] should be handled by Angular.

Is this possible at all? Sorry, this place is the only hope...

Here's what I have now:

    app.UseDefaultFiles();
    app.UseStaticFiles();

    app.UseRewriter(new RewriteOptions().AddRewrite("/app(/.*)?$", "index.html", true));

    app.UseIdentity();

    app.UseMvc(routes =>
    {
        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "default",
            template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
    });

I tried different settings, no luck. I get 404 on anything starting with localhost/app.

@alvipeo does swapping the order of UseStaticFiles and UseRewriter calls help this? The idea is you want the [anything] section to be rewritten before it's declared a static file.

Let me know if that helps with your problem!

@muratg I'm going to try this tomorrow! I kinda left the idea but came back to it today with another project. Need to have it fixed.
