(api) .htaccess rewriting for /backend and /frontend folders-CodePudding

I'm trying to host a nuxt symfony project, and I'm kind of stuck here.
I suppose what I need is some .htaccess rewriting.

I have 2 separate folders :

/
- /backend, which is basically my symfony folder.
- /frontend, containing my nuxt app.

I would need to redirect all of the requests that do not contain "/api" to the /frontend folder, and all requests containing "/api" to "/backend/".

Example :

mydomain.com/articles/5 would redirect to mydomain.com/frontend/articles/5
mydomain.com/api/article/5 would redirect to mydomain.com/backend/article/5

Any help would be really useful,
thank you.

CodePudding user response：

Assuming you have additional .htaccess files in the /frontend and /backend subdirectories that also use mod_rewrite to route the URL then you could do something like the following in the root .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

# Rewrite "/api/<something>` to backend
RewriteRule ^api/(.*) backend/$1 [L]

# Everything else rewritten to frontend
RewriteRule (.*) frontend/$1 [L]
