Looking at many AngularJS samples you will see they are served using the following format.
https://somewhere.com/index.html#/routePart1/routePart2/someId
Having the index.html# always be part of the route is not very pleasing visually, but there is a way to end this and change the application URLs to lose reference to the index page.
Allowing clean URLs for an AngularJS app served by an IIS or IIS Express server is a several step process.
Note: for IIS, you must install the the Microsoft URL Rewrite Module 2.0 for IIS (x64) for IIS so that the rewrite rules specified in the web.config are recognized. Without this extension, IIS will throw the following error:
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
Some functionality that is normal for a blog is not provided out of the box with Hugo. Things like a contact form or comments have to be added or tacked on from a third party. Fortunately, Hugo will allow us to insert custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into the site to allow for this. We can add this functionality at the page level or at the site level through modifying the templates.
This is just a brief summary of setting up a Hugo site. It details the specific steps for creating an initial site.
I have been in the process of getting ready for jumping back into the development arena after a long hiatus of traveling around the world, trading stocks to pay the bills, and working with trading tools and their respective development environments.
It has been fun, but I want to get back into professional development and take on new challenges. I believe that learning new technologies, processes, figuring out how to do something new, fixing something broken, and bouncing ideas off others are the only way to keep one’s mind strong.
This blog, as part of this re-entry journey, will detail what I am working on and looking at.
Enjoy!
