Rewrite Rules for firebase.json to configure firebase hosting

Question

I am developing a web app and hosted all files on Firebase Hosting.

As of now my page URL looks like

mydomain.com/user/index.html?user=username

but when I enter

mydomain.com/username

It should behave same. What should be the rules?

I tried this but not working

{
  "hosting": {
    "public": "psNew4",
    "ignore": [
      "firebase.json",
      "**/.*",
      "**/node_modules/**"
    ],
    "redirects": [ {
    "source": "/user/index.html?user=:username", // username is dynamic
    "destination": "https://example.com/:username",
    "type": 301
  }]
  }
}

PS: username is dynamic

Is there any solution for this or not?

According to the Firebase documentation on capturing URL segments for redirects you're looking for something like this:

"hosting": {
  // ...

  "redirects": [ {
    "source": "/user/index.html?user=:username",
    "destination": "https://example.com/:username",
    "type": 301
  }]
}
