Custom URLs

Introduction​

Netuno allows you to change the default addresses, for example:

  • The address of the administration interface, admin.
  • The address of public files, such as images, CSS, and JS, public.
  • The address of REST API services, services.

Configuration​

Navigate within the application you are developing to the environment configuration file. In this example, we will use the development environment file located at:

  • 📂 config/_development.json

Check whether the URL configuration does not already exist; if it does not exist, add the URL configuration parameters at the end of the configuration file (in JSON format), for example:

{
    ...
    "url": {
        "admin": "/admin/",
        "public": "/public/",
        "services": "/api/"
    },
    ...
}

admin​

Defines the URL address prefix for the administration interface; the default is just /.

public​

Defines the URL address prefix for static files that are public, such as images, CSS styles, and JavaScript code; the default is /public.

services​

Defines the initial URL address for the REST API web services; the default is /services.

Conclusion​

Customizing URLs is important, both to make them more intuitive and to be able to make them more complex and increase security.

For example, the administration address can use a prefix with a random character sequence, so only those who know it by heart will access the access address; this makes access harder and prevents attacks.
