Application Base Path

All of an application’s links, images, and resources are served from an applications base path. By default, the base path is /, but the base path can be configured by adding the base option to the .dojorc.

.dojorc

  1. {
  2.     "build-app": {
  3.         "base": "./some-directory/"
  4.     }
  5. }

Not Hosted from Root

If a Dojo app is not served from the root of the web server, it may be necessary to change the base path. For example, if an app is served from http://example.com/incredible-app, update the base path to be /incredible-app/.

Local Builds

Depending on the environment, it may be necessary to change the base path during a development build, but keep the default base path (or a different, custom, one) for production builds. Let’s say that the development machine serves all content under /var/www/html , but several projects exist under that directory -so each project is served from a different subdirectory. It may make sense to serve an app from /var/www/html/incredible-app/output/dev when run locally.

To achieve this configuration, create a .dojorc file only for development.

.dojorc.local

  1. {
  2.     "build-app": {
  3.         "base": "incredible-app/output/dev/"
  4.     }
  5. }

With this local development configuration in place, build the app using this configuration.

  1. dojo build app --dojorc .dojorc.local -m dev
