Prerendered SPA: npm run ssr:static

[mrksbnch]

Describe the bug

I want a create a prerendered SPA page (npm run ssr:static) that is using soft reload (using Vue Router in history mode) to link to different pages instead of performing a hard reload.

To Reproduce

• Generate static files: npm run ssr:static
• Open index.html file in /dist
• Click on subpage link in index.html

Reproduction repo

Expected behavior

If you click on the link in index.html ("Go to subpage"), Vue Router (in history mode) is used to redirect (instead of a hard reload).

Additional context

I want to host a website on Github Pages that needs to keep the store when going to seperate pages (SPA behavior). As I can't use Node.js on Github pages and a hard reload will lose all data that is kept in Vue Store (unless you save that in e.g. localstorange) and is also much slower than a soft reload using Vue Router, I'm wondering if I can generate static HTML files and still use Vue Router to link to different pages (in case JS is enabled)?

Please indicate versions of:

node: 12.4.0
vue-cli: 3.8.2
uvue: 0.1.0-alpha.19
os: macOS 10.14.3
browser: Chrome 73

Maybe I misunderstand you but when you say:

Open index.html file in /dist

Do you use any webserver to open your application or you just open the html file in your browser ?

I'm using a webserver, so the JavaScript / CSS files are correctly loaded (I doubled checked in Chrome Dev Tools and the JavaScript is loaded correctly).

Not really related to that issue but the ability to set a base path (so we don't have to start a webserver every time would be great too to test locally)

Sorry I cannot reproduce it, everything works as expected on my tests: Vue Router handle correclty the navigation when a router link is clicked

@chymz I just noticed that it was a configuration issue on my end and it is indeed working correctly. Sorry!
