Spring Webflux, How to forward to index.html to serve static content


spring-boot-starter-webflux (Spring Boot v2.0.0.M2) is already configured like in a spring-boot-starter-web to serve static content in the static folder in resources. But it doesn't forward to index.html. In Spring MVC it is possible to configure like this:

@Override
public void addViewControllers(ViewControllerRegistry registry) {
    registry.addViewController("/").setViewName("forward:/index.html");
}

How to do it in Spring Webflux?


Solution

  • Do it in WebFilter:

    @Component
    public class CustomWebFilter implements WebFilter {
      @Override
      public Mono<Void> filter(ServerWebExchange exchange, WebFilterChain chain) {
        if (exchange.getRequest().getURI().getPath().equals("/")) {
            return chain.filter(exchange.mutate().request(exchange.getRequest().mutate().path("/index.html").build()).build());
        }
    
        return chain.filter(exchange);
      }
    }
