dx serve should serve http://127.0.0.1:8080/{base_path} not just route

Feature Request

This is a slight mix between "feature request" and (potentially) bug report.

If a base_path is defined in Dioxus.toml, when I run dx serve locally it serves at http://127.0.0.1:8080. It would seem beneficial to at least have a link to http://127.0.0.1:8080/{base_path}.

I'm currently using the 0.6 alpha.4 tagged version of dioxus-cli.

Additional Clarification (and potential bug??)

The base_path is currently defined as "name/app" without any trailing '/' character.

Assets are included in my program as:

rsx! {
  Link { rel: "stylesheet", href: asset!("/assets/css/main.css") }
}

(i.e. with leading '/' as mentioned in the alpha-4 notes).

If I navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080/name/app the app appears, but without the css styling applied.
If I navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080/name/app/ (with trailing "/") the app appears with styling appropriately applied.

It looks like routes with trailing slashes are still treated as different paths in some cases 🤔

@jkelleyrtp / @ealmloff There may be two issues here; my main question was around the "serving at ..." when performing dioxus serve. I was expecting that to include the base path. I have retried here with dioxus 0.6.0-rc.0 (5bfdc03) and the issue still appears.

Any chance to make dx serve --platform desktop also work when base_path set in Dioxus.toml?

Yes, that should work. I opened an issue here: #3711
