Changing AngularDart application root url

I am trying to get AngularDart to work with nginx. The compiled files from AngularDart are located at /home/user/project/build.

If my nginx configuration looks as follows, everything works fine when I open up my browser at www.example.com:

location / {
  alias /home/user/project/build/;
}

However, if I change it to 

location /static {
  alias /home/user/project/build/;
}

and enter www.example.com/static in my browser, the browser console says that it could not find lots of scripts, for example http://www.example.com/packages/angular/src/core/zone/ng_zone.ddc.js. The correct URL of this one would be http://www.example.com/static/packages/angular/src/core/zone/ng_zone.ddc.js.

Any ideas how I can get the dart compiler to add /static to the URLs so that it works?

Solution

  • You'll need to set the base href.

    To do so, add the following tag into your index.html file

    <base href="/static">
