If the index.html is a static file, you will have to serve it from your public directory and then use the trick described here: http://modernperlbooks.com/mt/2011/08/serving-a-local-directory-with-plack.h... HTH On Sun, Apr 28, 2013 at 11:02 AM, Mark Wood-Patrick <mwoodpatrick@gmail.com>wrote:

Couldn't you do this:****

get '/' => sub { template 'index.html' };

That seemed to break regular URL's like /wishlist/mark But this does appear to work hook 'before' => sub { var note => 'Boo'; my $url = request->path_info(); $url =~ s/\/$//; $url .= "/index.html"; my $path = "$FindBin::RealBin/public$url"; if ( -r $path ) { return redirect $url } }; BTW are most folks using Dancer 2 or Dancer 1?

I suspect you probably want to look at the way that `auto_page` is implemented, although you may need to appropriate and modify it: in D1, it's render_autopage and _autopage_response in `Dancer::Renderer`, and in D2, it's in `Dancer2::Handler::AutoPage`. I can't really think of any other ways to do it off-hand, other than with a catch-all route, but that would fall over, I suspect, if you needed a route at `/todomvc/architecture-examples/yui` as well as at `/todomvc/architecture-examples/yui/index.html`. A route something like get qr{(.*)} => sub { my ($path) = splat; return redirect $path."/index.html" if -e settings('views_dir').$path."/index.html"; return send_error(404); }; -- assuming a setting, `views_dir`, pointing at your views directory; alternately, `setting('appdir')."/views"` should work, given a fairly standard setup -- should work.
