Hi Alessandro,
You're right, I guess I wasn't clear explaining my problem. When my
Angular2 app uses HashLocationStrategy the request doesn't get to TG, but,
neither does Google bots, url's like
/catalog#/category/443435523daf321f123123sfaf1234
get ignore past the '#'
So I needed to change to the new routing strategy, which doesn't use hash
anymore. Then TG was trying to assign a controller to the URL being asked
by the browser.
I was fool thinking that I needed to return a static file, when in fact I
needed to return nothing. So in a moment of pure inspiration, =), I did
exactly that, returned 'nothing' but an empty dict.
class CatalogController(BaseController):
# Uncomment this line if your controller requires an authenticated user
# allow_only = predicates.not_anonymous()
@expose('bodegagourmet.templates.catalog')
def _default(self, *args):
return dict()
@expose('bodegagourmet.templates.catalog')
def index(self, **kw):
return dict(page='catalog-index')
Success, my app now works wonderful with TG as backend.
Thank you Alessandro
