I have created bunch of files in pages/user/ folder. I can access them with the following URL:
http://localhost:3000/user/signup
http://localhost:3000/user/signin
http://localhost:3000/user/profile
What I would like to do is remove user/ part so that URL looks like this:
http://localhost:3000/signup
http://localhost:3000/signin
http://localhost:3000/profile
I will be adding more folders inside pages later for posts etc. What is the best way to achieve this?
For this you need to use a custom server.js. See the Custom server and routing part of the documentation.
Your code would look something like this:
const { createServer } = require('http')
const { parse } = require('url')
const next = require('next')
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'
const app = next({ dev })
const handle = app.getRequestHandler()
app.prepare().then(() => {
createServer((req, res) => {
// Be sure to pass `true` as the second argument to `url.parse`.
// This tells it to parse the query portion of the URL.
const parsedUrl = parse(req.url, true)
const { pathname, query } = parsedUrl
if (pathname === '/signup') {
app.render(req, res, '/user/signup', query)
} else if (pathname === '/signin') {
app.render(req, res, '/user/signin', query)
} else {
handle(req, res, parsedUrl)
}
}).listen(3000, err => {
if (err) throw err
console.log('> Ready on http://localhost:3000')
})
})
Another option is to move the files themselves within the ./pages folder, but I suspect you want to avoid doing this (hence your question).
