Export and relative URL

[rap2hpoutre]

After exporting the default sapper-template with the npx sapper export command, I would like to use it somewhere in a subfolder. It works if I serve it via http://example.org (with nginx or similar) but not if I host it in a subfolder http://example.org/my-sapper-website (example: if I want to host it on Github Pages). It's because all URL starts with slashes in routes and templates. I could change all the URL to make them relatives (removing the slash in HTML), but I not sure it's the right way.

Is there a way to export for hosting in subfolder without rewriting all the routes files?

Sorry if it's not the right place to ask this kind of questions, maybe I should have posted on Stackoverflow

Hi @rap2hpoutre! That's a good point. There is currently no way to achieve this.

It might be worth exploring if the CLI could be expanded to take an argument to specify a base URL, which could be added to relative URLs when the a tags are extracted.

sapper export --baseurl=http://example.org/my-sapper-website

I'm going to close this issue in favour of #180, as it's something that also applies to non-exported sites, so we should have a fix that covers both scenarios
