MVC 6, .NET Core RC2 Rewrite to index.html on non /api urls

Question

I am using MVC 6 with .NET Core RC2

In my startup.cs I have the following (as most people suggest):

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
    app.UseDefaultFiles();
    app.UseStaticFiles();
    app.UseMvc();
}

In my wwwroot/web.config file I have:

<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
    <handlers>
      <add name="httpPlatformHandler" path="*" verb="*" modules="httpPlatformHandler" resourceType="Unspecified"/>
    </handlers>
    <httpPlatform processPath="%DNX_PATH%" arguments="%DNX_ARGS%" stdoutLogEnabled="false" startupTimeLimit="3600"/>
    <rewrite>
      <rules>
        <rule name="IndexHomeRule" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url=".*" />
          <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
            <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true"/>
            <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" matchType="Pattern" pattern="^/api/" negate="true" />
          </conditions>
          <action type="Rewrite" url="/index.html" />
        </rule>
      </rules>
    </rewrite>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

My goal is that all non /api urls will be rewritten to index.html for Angularjs to handle the routing with html5mode. The main directory will load index.html but other than that I get 404 errors for every other url. How can I set up rewriting if not through web.config?

The only controller I have right now is api/BuyersController.cs which routes using [Route("api/[controller]")]

The URL rewriting for ASP.NET CORE RC2 through to RTM is currently broken as it exists in your question.

The ASP.NET team is currently working on some middleware as a direct ASP.NET solution to this problem. The github issue tracking this is located below.

There are some solutions in this other issue thread that could be of help to you in the interim.
