access /foo and get /foo.html

[kuboon]

Github pages can access foo.html by url /foo
see https://rsp.github.io/gh-pages-no-extension/test1

I want lume server to work the same way.

currently this is my solution:

// config.ts
import { Middleware } from "lume/core.ts";

const github_pages: Middleware = async (req, next) => {
  const response = await next(req);
  if(response.status !== 404) {
    return response;
  }
  const req2 = new Request(req.url + ".html", req);
  return next(req2);
}

const site = lume({
  dest: './docs',
  prettyUrls: false,
  server: {
    middlewares: [github_pages],
  }
});

It would be smarter if lume had a server option and could scan resources in core/server.ts

This requires also some changes in the way the page url variable is builded.

lume/core/filesystem.ts

Lines 218 to 223 in bc8412d

	updateUrl() {
	this.data.url =
	(this.dest.ext === ".html" && posix.basename(this.dest.path) === "index")
	? this.dest.path.slice(0, -5)
	: this.dest.path + this.dest.ext;
	}

I think it's good idea but need to think the best way to implement it.

I've implemented another option for prettyUrls to omit the .html extension but without saving the files as /index.html. It can be enabled with:

const site = lume({
  prettyUrls: "no-html-extension",
});

and will be available in Lume 1.9.0.
