Do not index
This is the most robust and easiest way to add Sub-folders. Any type of website can be configured to use sub-folders when your DNS records are hosted on Cloudflare. If you are not using Cloudflare as your DNS, I suggest you to use it. Around 20% of the website are powered by Cloudflare.
Let’s get started with the setup,
1. Open Workers Dashboard
2. Create a service
You can name this whatever you want.
You cannot edit the worker code yet so simply press finish.
You should now see your worker in the workers overview page.
3. Edit your worker
Click on your worker and press edit code.
Remove all the existing code and paste the following code into the worker.
addEventListener("fetch", event => {
event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request))
})
async function handleRequest(request) {
const urlObject = new URL(request.url)
if (urlObject.pathname.endsWith('/') && urlObject.pathname !== '/') {
urlObject.pathname = urlObject.pathname.slice(0, -1)
return Response.redirect(urlObject.toString(), 301)
}
const host = urlObject.host
try {
const blogHost = "mydomain.feather.blog" // change this to your feather blog url
// I'm hosting on 'mydomain.com/blog' that's why I have ["blog", "_feather"] in below code
// if you're hosting on 'mydomain.com/help' then below code should be ["help", "_feather"]
const paths = ["blog", "_feather"]
let url = new URL(request.url)
const prevUrl = new URL(url)
if (
paths.some((path) => urlObject.pathname === `/${path}` ||
urlObject.pathname.startsWith(`/${path}/`))
) {
url.hostname = blogHost
}
let proxyRequest = new Request(url.toString(), request)
proxyRequest.headers.set("X-Forwarded-Host", host)
return fetch(proxyRequest)
} catch (e) {
return await fetch(request);
}
}
Please make sure to update line 16 & line 20 accordingly.
Once you paste it, your worker should look like this. Make the changes as required and then press deploy.
4. Set trigger routes
We need 2 routes
- /blog* (if you are hosting on
mydomain/help
, you will need to write/help*
instead)
- /_feather*
Let’s consider here that you’re trying to host Sub-folder at
/blog
for ecomreco.com
domain. For that, you would have to select ecomreco.com
zone and add the required routes as shown in the below screenshots.5. Setup Sub-folder in Feather Dashboard
In Feather, navigate to Settings > Features and switch on “Enable Subdirectory” feature and after that go to Settings > Sub-folder management and enter the following values,
Make sure to replace
www.mydomain.com
with the domain you are using and blog
with whatever sub-route you plan to use.Important Note: Under the Domains section make sure that you are using Subdomain settings. If you have added a custom domain there, please remove it. Sub-folders does not require the Custom Domain configurations and if you have it, then the sub-folder will not work.
Once you do these, your sub-folder should be live. You should be able to access your feather site on
www.mydomain.com/blog
. If it’s not reach out to us at support@feather.so.
