Load a index.html page when open a Blank project

[Nowhk]

I've setup the CMS orchardcore as Blank, using it to only manage content via API, and the website is rendered using a frontend framework like Vue.js

So, all the front end project is build within wwwroot folder, and is accessible by index.html.

I'd like to recall that page calling www.mydomain.com, instead of www.mydomain.com/index.html

Would be nice to do it directly. Not sure if its achievable right now, can you add this feature?

You can set Home page in MVC / Razor - see following comment by @jtkech in another related issue.

@ns8482e hi, thanks for the reply.

Tried this way:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
	services.AddMvc().AddRazorPagesOptions(options => 
	{
		options.Conventions.AddPageRoute("/", "index.html");
	});

	services.AddOrchardCms();
}

But I got 500, and nothing load.

I think I've fixed it. I've simply add app.UseDefaultFiles(); before app.UseStaticFiles(); and it find index.html within wwwroot.

Is it correct in your opinion? Thanks

@Nowhk Nice!,

However there is an open issue #6505 with UseStaticFiles() - currently it only works with Default tenant.

If you plan to use your vuejs app in multi tenant scenario i.e. www.mydomain.com/index.html, www.mydomain.com/tenant1/index.html , www.mydomain.com/tenant2/index.html then It's suggested that you use index.cshtml instead of static index.html
