Expected behavior
I've written some routes that are not behaving as expected. I initially started off with the create-choo-app scaffolding; however, that required turned out to only be a good idea for development. When it came to deployment, my dynamic routes were all broken when I tried to push up my dist folder to s3 (where I am going to eventually host my choo site). So rather than use the fancy bankai package, I thought I would use browserify to get everything working. Again, this caused all my routes to break. Am I missing something, or do you have to run something like budo or bankai in order to serve the page up? Here is basically what I am doing:
index.html:
<html>
<head>
<script src='bundle.js'> </script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
index.js
var html = require('choo/html')
var choo = require('choo')
var app = choo()
app.route('/', placeholder)
app.route('/:user', placeholder)
app.route('/:user/:repo', placeholder)
app.route('/:user/settings', placeholder)
app.route('/404', placeholder)
function placeholder (state) {
console.log(state.params)
return html`<body>placeholder</body>`
}
app.mount('body')
browserify command:
browserify index.js -o bundle.js
When I run a simple http server like python -m simpleHttpServer 8000 my initial route comes up fine. But then if I attempt to type localhost:8000/homer into the address bar I get a 404 error.
I would expect that I should get "placeholder".
I guess ultimately my question is how do I get everything nice and packaged in the browser so that I can manually type routes in the address bar and get the results I am anticipating? Thanks!
