How to redirect the index / after setting noPrefixDefaultLocale

Hello, i have problem:

1. i set noPrefixDefaultLocale to false in the description: By default, paths generated for the default language don’t contain a locale prefix, set this option to false to disable this behavior

2. so the generated routes like this, good:

[
  {
    path: "/en/",
    component: _3237362a,
    name: "index-en"
  },
  {
    path: "/fr/",
    component: _3237362a,
    name: "index-fr"
  }
]

1. then when starting the app, do not redirect to index it shows 404 page not found error!!! http://localhost:port/ -> error http://localhost:port/en -> index page with English

2. what i want is some setting that change the default language after setting noPrefixDefaultLocale: false or add another auto generated route like this of the default language:

[
  {
    path: "/",
    component: _3237362a,
    name: "index-en" // the default language!!! or redirectRootToLocale content!!
  },
  {
    path: "/en/",
    component: _3237362a,
    name: "index-en"
  },
  {
    path: "/fr/",
    component: _3237362a,
    name: "index-fr"
  }
]

1. i think this : redirectRootToLocale: 'en' must work every time. the problem as description said: Specify a locale to which the user should be redirected when visiting root URL (/), doesn’t do anything if noPrefixDefaultLocale is enabled

so make redirectRootToLocale work every time to solve this as i think!!

and thank you 😃.

I have more things to make nuxt better, but I think this should implemented on nuxt core instead i18n, actually nuxt have a duplicated content problem on his routes too, for example:

/news/ and /news both are valid and the same route, but for SEO it’s a big problem, should be more strict and generate only one mode, for example if it’s a folder generate only a /foldername/ and don’t allow access without final slash /foldername (instead access make a 301 redirection to /foldername/ or show 404, both are valid for SEO) and for single vue files make only the /filename as valid without the final slash.

I gona try to learn about modules and try to send PR to you and nuxt to help with this things, I read the documentation on https://nuxtjs.org/api/configuration-modules but I still don’t know how I can debug the module startup, I tried to put some console.log('test') but don’t show anything on console.

Thanks @MitsuhaKitsune, I like your approach and I’ll implement it asap 😃 I’m planning on refactoring the module’s code sometime to make it more scalable but I’m kinda waiting on Nuxt 2.0 to be released as it will bring better support for ES6 which should facilitate modules’ development.
