Is it possible to add an allowFallback parameter to enable history mode?

example: fileFound = _tryDefaultFile(allowFallback ? fileSystemPath : fsPath, defaultDocument);

Implement functionality similar to connect-history-api-fallback, which is important for integrating applications like Vue or React.

Would you explain a bit more?

@kevmoo Translated into the corresponding Nginx configuration：

location / {
  # root build_path;
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}

Application scenario: When the requested file cannot be found, the top-level index.html file is always returned, which is important for providing web single-page applications.

Let me explain further through a practical scenario:

Now I have a static resources folder with the following structure

build_path
├── favicon.ico
├── index.html
├── static
   └── top_config.js

I hope that the mapping of the following paths can now be accessed through the createStaticHandler(build_path, defaultDocument: 'index.html') middleware:

Request path	Mapping path
/	/index.html
/favicon.ico	/favicon.ico
/static/top_config.js	/static/top_config.js
/static	/index.html
/static/other	/index.html
