Filesystem Routing

By default, Vike does Filesystem Routing: the URL of a page is determined based on where its .page.js file is located.

FILESYSTEM                        URL
pages/about.page.js               /about
# `index` is mapped to the empty string
pages/index/index.page.js         /
# Case sensitive
pages/HELLO.page.js               /HELLO
# Parameterized
pages/movie/@id.page.js           /movie/1, /movie/2, /movie/3, ...

Filesystem Routing ignores all the following directories:

• index/
• pages/
• src/

For example:

FILESYSTEM                                         URL
src/pages/jobs/index.page.js                       /jobs
pages/pages/src/src/index/pages/about.page.js      /about
contact/index.page.js                              /contact

This allows us to have a domain-driven file structure such as:

FILESYSTEM                        URL
user/pages/list.page.js           /user/list
user/pages/create.page.js         /user/create
todo/pages/list.page.js           /todo/list
todo/pages/create.page.js         /todo/create

We can change the URL root of Filesystem Routing by using _default.page.route.js#filesystemRoutingRoot.
