Changing from default index.html page to login.html page

[Ruben Franco]

Hello,

I know firebase looks for the 'index.html' page in your directory and it sets that as the homepage for when users open the app url. However, my app is currently set in a way that I need users to load login.html first and after authentication go to the index.html. How can I redirect or change the default 'index.html' to 'login.html' without having to rename everything? Thanks.

Ruben,

The rewrites section of the guide has an example nearly identical to this question.

Maybe fiddle with something like this?

"rewrites": [ {
  "source": "/index.html",
  "destination": "/login.html"
} ]

☼, Kato

Hey Ruben,

Firebase Hosting is static hosting, meaning we don’t serve different content based on app state. There are two approaches you can take for this:

1. Build a single-page app style site that keeps both the logged out and logged in state in index.html and uses JavaScript to decide which to show.
2. Use JavaScript to trigger a redirect if the auth state isn’t what you want. e.g. window.location = '/login.html';

Hope that helps.

-Michael
