Ember 2路由子域

Question

I have a Ember 2 application (ember-cli) that uses a Rails API as the back end. For this application, I have enabled Wildcard DNS with my DNS Provider (Cloudflare). When a user signs up with my website, I want them to be able to use their subdomain to access their public home page.

For example:

A user named Steve signs up for my site located at awesome.com . So Steve browses to steve.awesome.com , which internally would translate to awesome.com/users/steve . How do I setup my Ember routes such that it can route based off of the subdomain?

Answer 1

I have come to a solution, but it isn't exactly what I was initially looking for. I realized there really isn't a reason why the URL has to be awesome.com/users/steve , and instead have decided that their subdomain (or custom domain) will act as their identifier. So let's say Steve browses to steve.awesome.com , I will figure out the host via window.location.hostname , and use that as a lookup key to pass to my Rails API and retrieve user data.

Not exactly the solution I originally was seeking, but it solves my issue!
