React routers and Java backend(Wildfly)
· Leitura de um minuto
When you use Java as backend(Wildfy 10+) for your web apps you'll need to create a rewrite rule in order to your routes work properly.
So, first of all, you'll need to add to the WEB-INF/undertow-handlers.conf all paths that won't be managed by your react application like example below:
path-prefix('/api') -> done
path-prefix('/static') -> done
path-prefix('/images/') -> done
path-prefix('/templates') -> done
path-prefix('/other-stuff') -> done
path-prefix('/report') -> done
So you'll need to provide the default rewrite rules for all addresses that will be managed(rewritten to) react js application, like example below
path-prefix('/') -> rewrite('/')
P.S. This might work with angular and other JS frameworks as well.

For the sake of simplicity you can check the complete example below:
path-prefix('/api') -> done
path-prefix('/static') -> done
path-prefix('/images/') -> done
path-prefix('/templates') -> done
path-prefix('/other-stuff') -> done
path-prefix('/report') -> done
path-prefix('/') -> rewrite('/')
