URL Rewriting with Angular Application Routing on IIS

Client-side routing, which manages routing on the client is frequently used with Angular apps. It may be necessary to set up URL rewriting when deploying an Angular application on a server, such as Internet Information Services (IIS), in order to guarantee that the Angular routes function properly.

Angular routing on IIS may be configured using the following steps:

1. Initially, verify that the IIS server has the URL Rewrite module installed and activated. If it isn’t installed already, we can download and install it from the official website.

2. Now, verify that the

base

element is set up in the

head

section of the

index.html

file for the Angular app. This component is essential for proper routing, particularly when the application is deployed to a server subdirectory since it assists Angular in determining the app’s base URL.

Also, be sure to adjust the href attribute if the Angular application is deployed to a subfolder.

3. In the IIS settings, add a URL Rewrite rule. This rule allows Angular’s client-side routing to take control by diverting any requests that don’t match an existing file or directory to the

index.html

file.

4. Lastly, test the Angular app by accessing different routes directly in the browser after setting up the URL Rewrite rule. Make sure that switching between routes functions as it should.
