Redirect all routes to /

Hello, I would like to redirect all potential routes to my index page ('/') I tried this in nuxt.config.ts : 
    routeRules: {
        '/**': { redirect: '/' },
    },
    routeRules: {
        '/**': { redirect: '/' },
    },
But it looks like it's giving me an infinite loop I didn't try with a middleware but... it seems more proper and elegant to do it in the routeRules ? Thanks πŸ™‚

Hi @Omnislash. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Your approach using routeRules in nuxt.config.ts is indeed a more elegant way to handle redirects in Nuxt 3. However, the configuration you've tried is causing an infinite loop because it's redirecting all routes, including the root path, to itself. To solve this issue, you can modify your routeRules configuration to exclude the root path from the redirection. Here's how you can do it: 
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  routeRules: {
    '/**': { redirect: '/' },
    '/': { redirect: false }
  }
})
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  routeRules: {
    '/**': { redirect: '/' },
    '/': { redirect: false }
  }
})
This configuration will: 1. Redirect all routes to the root path ('/') 2. Explicitly prevent redirection for the root path itself By setting redirect: false for the root path, you're telling Nuxt not to apply any redirection rule to '/'. This should prevent the infinite loop you were experiencing. If you want to be even more specific and only redirect routes that don't exist, you could use the prerender option in combination with the redirect: 
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  routeRules: {
    '/': { prerender: true },
    '/**': { redirect: '/' }
  }
})
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  routeRules: {
    '/': { prerender: true },
    '/**': { redirect: '/' }
  }
})
This approach will prerender the root path and redirect all other routes to it. Remember that these route rules are part of Nuxt's hybrid rendering feature, which allows different caching and rendering strategies for different routes. Source: Nuxt Documentation - Hybrid Rendering (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/concepts/rendering#hybrid-rendering) If you're still experiencing issues or need more complex redirection logic, you might want to consider using middleware. However, for this specific use case, the routeRules approach should be sufficient and is indeed more elegant. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

When I try to redirect '/' to false, it says "Type 'false' is not assignable to type 'string | { to?: string | undefined; statusCode?: HTTPStatusCode | undefined; } | undefined'"
