SPA routing on Python dev server












0















I'm attempting to use Python's http.server as a dev server for a SPA framework, and am curious how to set up SPA routing. Excerpt from a server script, which attempts to address this:



class Handler(http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
# Allow SPA routing by redirecting subpaths.
def do_GET(self):
urlparts = urllib.parse.urlparse(self.path)
request_file_path = urlparts.path.strip('/')
if not os.path.exists(request_file_path):
self.path = '/'
return http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.do_GET(self)


This works properly for one-child-down paths, like localhost:8000/guide, but not for paths like localhost:8000/guide/1: In this case, it attempts to load index.html for all resources, including JS files. This results in browser-console errors like SyntaxError: expected expression, got '<'. How would you approach this?
