Simple connect middleware for simulating url-rewriting for grunt connect servers.
var fs = require('fs'),
url = require('url');
module.exports = function (rootDir, indexFile) {
indexFile = indexFile || "index.html";
return function(req, res, next){
var path = url.parse(req.url).pathname;
fs.readFile('./' + rootDir + path, function(err, buf){
if (!err) return next();
fs.readFile('./' + rootDir + '/' + indexFile, function (error, buffer) {
if (error) return next(error);
resp = {
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'text/html',
'Content-Length': buffer.length
},
body: buffer
};
res.writeHead(200, resp.headers);
res.end(resp.body);
});
});
}
};
// Usage example
module.exports = function(grunt) {
var urlRewrite = require('grunt-connect-rewrite');
// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
connect: {
server: {
options: {
port: 9001,
base: 'build',
middleware: function(connect, options) {
// Return array of whatever middlewares you want
return [
// redirect all urls to index.html in build folder
urlRewrite('build', 'index.html'),
// Serve static files.
connect.static(options.base),
// Make empty directories browsable.
connect.directory(options.base)
];
}
}
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-connect');
grunt.registerTask('default', ['connect']);
};

For those who can't get this script to work:

Place the grunt-connect-rewrite.js file in your bower_components folder.

The 'require('grunt-connect-rewrite');' is referencing the script there. You can then use it in your grunt tasks

Shows me an error "Object build has no method 'initConfig' Use --force to continue."
