Supporting Wildcards in staticwebapp.config.json

[brionmario]

I'm looking for suggestions to implement custom routing logic in the staticwebapp.config.json file. I need to map various URL patterns to specific HTML files, as described below:

/app* -> /app/index.html
/t/*/-> /index.html
/t/*/app*-> app/index.html
/o/*/ -> /index.html
/o/*/app* -> /app/index.html

fallback: index.html

This is what i've tried so far:

{
  "routes": [
    {
      "route": "/app*",
      "rewrite": "/app/index.html"
    },
    {
      "route": "/t/*/",
      "rewrite": "/index.html"
    },
    {
      "route": "/t/*/app*",
      "rewrite": "/app/index.html"
    },
    {
      "route": "/o/*/",
      "rewrite": "/index.html"
    },
    {
      "route": "/o/*/app*",
      "rewrite": "/app/index.html"
    }
  ],
  "navigationFallback": {
    "rewrite": "/index.html"
  }
}

This seems to break due to having two *.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated

You might find that the approach I've documented here solves your problem

Thanks @johnnyreilly. I'll check this out.

@johnnyreilly in 2022 I refered to your solution in the open GitHub issue here #1481 that @ShanonJackson @anthonychu also tweeted.

but ... it's a redirection solution, not a rewrite.

@mkarmark said 'We currently don't support wildcard paths for rewrite, but can consider supporting that in the future!"

is there a way to 'vote up' the feature request?

I don't think there is I'm afraid
