Configure a direct link

[bender86]

Hi,

I deployed a react web site and it works great. Now i’d like to know how to make direct libk working.

For example i have my site: https://www.kidsandfun.be and i need to send a direct link to kidsandfun

But it doesn’t work. How can i achieve this?

Thanks

Hi,

That behavior sounds like you’re using client-side routing (e.g. React Router) on a Static Site.

That would require a rewrite rule, like the one covered in our docs here: https://render.com/docs/deploy-create-react-app#using-client-side-routing

Kind regards

Hi,

Thanks for your reply but i’ve already added a rewrite and its not what i need.
When i go to the direct libk it redirect to the home page.

My need is to go to the required page. Are there a way to do this?

Thanks

The docs I shared are the way to have deep links with client-side routing.

Can you share a screenshot of your rewrites?

Hi,

Here is my rewrite url that goes to the home

Thanks

That wouldn’t work for client-side routing. It’s also a redirect not a rewrite.

Could you replace it with the rewrite shown in the docs to give that another try: https://render.com/docs/deploy-create-react-app#using-client-side-routing
