node.js/angular.js - Cannot GET

Question

I have the root route and it works fine. I also have a another route 127.0.0.1:3000/dashboard if I just type that url into the address bar I get this error:

Cannot GET /

Answer 1

I'd suggest a pretty fast javascript solution in front and back end.

NodeJs

// set up our one route to the index.html file
    app.get('*', function (req, res){
    res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname+'/public/index.html'));
});

This code tells to de local/remote server where is the main html, so it could find the rest of templates.

AngularJs

// If 404 Redirect to home
$routeProvider.otherwise( { redirectTo: '/'} );

This is also really helpful, so never goes to a missing page.
