Question about # symbol in links

[dmytrodanylyk]

Hi,

Great work with https://docsify.js.org!

I want to migrate my old site to docsify and have two questions:

1. How I can get rid of # in my urls http://localhost:3000/#/faq? (I want it to be the same as on my old web site e.g. http://localhost:3000/faq
2. Some urls of my old web site have / symbol at the end. If I try to open http://localhost:3000/#/faq/ it says not found. Is there way to always redirect those links via alias (https://docsify.js.org/#/configuration?id=alias) or there is better way?

Thanks

1. You can change the routing mode to HTML5 History API (https://docsify.js.org/#/configuration?id=router-mode). Because GitHub pages does not support SPA, I can only use hash routing to ensure that the entry file is always /index.html

2. If the end has / then it will load the /README.md file. I can not think of other ways, except to via alias 😅

Thanks for the answers. I am planning to use github pages, so looks like I have to use default router-mode.

So how I can redirect users from http://localhost:3000/faq to http://localhost:3000/#/faq? Because if I try to open http://localhost:3000/faq it shows me error Cannot GET /faq

You can create a 404.html and implement route redirection, because we can customize the 404 page in GitHub Pages. But this is not friendly to SEO...

Assuming you are using AngularJS ngRoute. Two things I can think of:

1. in your HTML file: add to the
2. in your app.js file, where you do configure all the routing. Add
   "$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);"

This way, you don't have the "#", just "http://localhost:3000/faq". Hope it helps.

yes, u can customize a 404.html, can import a script like this https://www.npmjs.com/package/ghspa
the script will autoly redirect to the page which u wanna visit

caveat, the script was recognized by doccument.title so u should change your 404.html title as ‘404’

u can view the source code of ghspa
