index.html as default file in subfolders?

Currently, when I open something like localhost:8080/path, I get the fallback /index.html file instead of an existing file /path/index.html. Most servers, including GitHub pages, are by default configured “smartly” and return the index.html file (if it exists) when a folder is requested. Would be nice for this to be configurable, or maybe even default?

also swimming by to say this was rather unintuitive for me. using servor through svelvet, and it wasn’t obvious that this was ONLY for SPAs. i kept refreshing thinking something was wrong. expected there to be a config to serve any existing html files. so i guess count this as a “+1” haha.

usecase - making a svelte site generator, need this for local dev mode

if you’ll take a PR and/or give some specs i can try to PR - but also totally cool if you just want to keep it focused on the SPA usecase. my plan would be to add a flag, say --indexes like you suggest, and then modify the isRouteRequest logic and serve the correct file. Ofc if its easier for you to do it then go for it, i dont feel super confident about this stuff 😃

edit: hang on… are we just slowly replicating sirv? help me get my head straight here i’m confused how they differ now apart from the zero dep/SPA only thing here

Ah, right. This is for SPA. I used servor for single-page apps and just continued to use it for regular plain old websites, didn’t even think twice. 😄
