Replacing square brackets in page names in dev mode

Is it possible to transform the page names in dev mode? The specific use case is that I'm building an SPA and have a Java server that proxies to dev server, but square brackets in URL are invalid, so Java rejects the request. They have to be either encoded, or replaced inside nuxt/pages on dev server. However, I have no idea how to do that.

Hi @sarabwt. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To address your question about transforming page names in dev mode for Nuxt, specifically to handle square brackets in URLs, I can provide some insights based on the available knowledge sources. Unfortunately, there isn't a direct built-in method in Nuxt to transform page names in dev mode as you've described. However, there are a couple of approaches you might consider: 1. URL Encoding: Instead of modifying the page names, you could consider URL encoding the square brackets on the Java server side before proxying the request to the Nuxt dev server. This would preserve the Nuxt routing structure while making the URLs valid for Java. 2. Custom Server Middleware: You could potentially create a custom server middleware in Nuxt to handle the URL transformation. However, this would require additional setup and might not be ideal for your specific use case. 3. Experimental Feature: Nuxt has an experimental feature called inlineRouteRules which allows defining route rules at the page level. While this doesn't directly solve your problem, it might provide a way to handle routing more flexibly. You can enable it in your nuxt.config.ts: 
   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     experimental: {
       inlineRouteRules: true
     }
   })
   
   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     experimental: {
       inlineRouteRules: true
     }
   })
Nuxt Documentation: Experimental Features 4. Alternative Naming Convention: As a workaround, you could consider using a different naming convention for your pages that doesn't involve square brackets. For example, using underscores or hyphens instead. It's worth noting that modifying the core behavior of how Nuxt handles page names and routing in dev mode is not a straightforward task and might require more complex solutions or workarounds. If none of these approaches are suitable for your specific situation, you might need to consider alternative setups for your development environment or explore custom build processes that could transform the URLs before they reach your Java server. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
