Consider including guidance about running ReactRedux pages as IIS sub-apps #7144

Closed ryanbrandenburg closed 5 years ago

ryanbrandenburg commented 6 years ago

In aspnet/templating#555 one of our users had trouble getting a react-redux app set up as a sub-application in IIS. We might want to add some instructions about how to use the homepage parameter in package.json to make that work. Details in the bug.

The problem with the homepage package.json approach as far as I can see, is that it's a static string defined at build time. So in the event that your IIS configuration changes (i.e. the sub-app is moved or renamed) you have to do a rebuild of the application which seems really bad to me. I guess you could possibly get away with manually changing the tag in the index.html but then you're manually changing the base html to fix your IIS routing.

Imo, we need a way to make this dynamic either by having .Net generate the homepage prefix and plugging it in at runtime, or we need to refactor the template to use a index.cshtml razor view where we can expose the kestrel URL in the viewbag. Or something else?

@guardrex can you add a note to the appropriate doc For information on running ReactRedux pages as IIS sub-apps, see aspnet/Templating#555

Then we can close this issue.

I'm not familiar with these technologies. Idk if this applies to the React project template, too.

@ryanbrandenburg, should I add a new section to the Use the React project template topic under the existing Publish and deploy section?

@terndrup that sounds like really great info for the product. This is the doc's repo.
