Wildcard routes using gorillamux

How can I define a catch-all route in gorillamux so that it serves an HTML folder? Basically if someone hits any route /* it serves my /dist folder.

The problem is that my front-end uses React Router and if I hit a client route lets say /page2, it returns an error, but if I start at / and navigate to /page2 via links it works.

Nodejs has their solution where they serve the /dist folder whenever someone hits the * route.

You can use PathPrefix.

r := mux.NewRouter()
// ... define all other routes first
// Serve static files, if no route matches
r.PathPrefix("/").Handler(http.FileServer(http.Dir("./static/")))  

this way the content of the static/ directory in the application directory is served at /, just as you would expect from your experience with Nodejs

Could you add a regex, (.*?), into HandleFunc() that should match anything you send in?
