url routing - How can I get AngularJS working with the ServiceStack FallbackRoute attribute to support HTML5 pushstate Urls? -

i building client/server solution, using angularjs single page app client component , self-host servicestack restful api server component. single visual studio console application project holds html , javascript files angularjs component, along c# classes bootstrapping servicestack apphost (i have devolved interface , service responsibilities separate visual studio projects).

i have set html , javascript files have 'build action' of 'none' , 'copy output directory' of 'copy if newer'.

everything working long prepared put having '#' in site urls. eliminate using html5 pushstate urls.

effectively means need persuade servicestack serve default single page app html shell page whenever non-existent route requested. there fallbackroute attribute available in servicestack appears have been added purpose.

however, unsure how use it. have found people asking similar questions here, here , here. answers given before new fallbackroute attribute arrived.

essentially, looking simple, yet complete example of how use fallbackroute attribute ensure requests non-existent routes redirected single static html page.

the razorrockstars.web has implementation. i'll modify use wildcard path , default view:

[fallbackroute("/{path*}")] public class fallback {     public string path { get; set; }     public string pathinfo { get; set; } }  public class rockstarsservice : service {     [defaultview("index")]     public object any(fallback request)     {         request.pathinfo = base.request.pathinfo;         return request;     }     // ... } 

since service requires view page (details here) rather content page.

in rockstars example, can't determine view rendered fallbackresponse, setting view explicitly should need.

the [defaultview("index")] attribute added any method maps response views/index.cshtml file. index.cshtml file can empty template declaration, , complete markup single page app can in template file (i.e. _layout.cshtml)

without razor

read html string , return it, while setting content type "text/html" attribute, see wiki docs on service return types

public class rockstarsservice : service {     static string readcontents;      [addheader(contenttype = "text/html")]     public string any(fallback request)     {          // check timestamp changes production use         if (readcontents == '') {             using (streamreader streamreader = new streamreader(pathfromconfigfile, encoding.utf8))             {                  readcontents = streamreader.readtoend();             }         }         return readcontents;     }     // ... }
