Subject: Seeking Help with Actix-web Routing Structure Similar to Axum

Hello everyone,

I really appreciate Actix's high performance, but I'm trying to improve my routing setup to achieve two main goals:

Route Organization:

I want to clearly separate authenticated and non-authenticated routes like Axum does

Prefer writing full path routes rather than segmented ones

Currently using scope() which feels less clean than Axum's approach

Frontend Support:

Need proper Vue.js SPA support (serving static files with fallback to index.html)

Here's my current Actix implementation:

HttpServer::new(|| {
    let cors = actix_cors::Cors::default()
        .allow_any_origin()
        .allow_any_method()
        .allow_any_header()
        .max_age(3600);

    App::new()
        // Public routes
        .route("/admin/", web::get().to(|| async { web::Json(RespVO::from("hello".to_string())) }))
        .route("/admin/sys_login", web::post().to(rbac_user_controller::login))
        .route("/admin/captcha", web::get().to(img_controller::captcha))
        
        // Authenticated routes
        .service(
            scope("/admin")
                .route("/sys_user_info", web::post().to(rbac_user_controller::info))
                .wrap_fn(abs_admin::middleware::auth_actix::auth)
        )
        
        // Frontend handling
        .service(
            Files::new("/", "dist/")
                .index_file("index.html")
                .default_handler(/* ... */)
        )
        .wrap(cors)
        .app_data(web::PayloadConfig::default().limit(50 * 1024 * 1024))
})

In Axum, I noticed you can:

Combine multiple Router::new() instances cleanly

Use .nest_service() with proper SPA fallback handling

use axum::{
    Router,
    routing::{get, post},
    middleware,
    response::Html,
};
use tower_http::services::{ServeDir, ServeFile};

// Handler functions
async fn public_api() -> &'static str { "Public API" }
async fn private_api() -> &'static str { "Private API" }
async fn admin_dashboard() -> &'static str { "Admin Dashboard" }
async fn spa_fallback() -> Html<&'static str> { Html("<!DOCTYPE html><html>...</html>") }

// Auth middleware
async fn auth_middleware<B>(
    request: axum::http::Request<B>,
    next: middleware::Next<B>,
) -> impl IntoResponse {
    // Your auth logic here
    println!("Auth check for: {}", request.uri());
    next.run(request).await
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    // Public routes (no auth)
    let public_routes = Router::new()
        .route("/admin/api/public", get(public_api))
        .route("/admin/api/login", post(public_api));

    // Protected routes (require auth)
    let protected_routes = Router::new()
        .route("/admin/api/private", get(private_api))
        .route("/admin/dashboard", get(admin_dashboard))
        .route_layer(middleware::from_fn(auth_middleware));

    // API router combining both
    let api_router = Router::new()
        .merge(public_routes)
        .merge(protected_routes);

    // SPA frontend handling (Vue.js)
    let spa_router = Router::new().nest_service(
        "/",
        ServeDir::new("dist")
            .not_found_service(ServeFile::new("dist/index.html")),
    );

    // Final app
    let app = Router::new()
        .merge(api_router)
        .merge(spa_router);

    axum::Server::bind(&"0.0.0.0:3000".parse().unwrap())
        .serve(app.into_make_service())
        .await
        .unwrap();
}

Question: How can I achieve similar route organization and frontend handling in Actix-web? Any suggestions for making the authenticated/non-authenticated separation cleaner while maintaining full path routes?

Thank you for your help!

你改变一下，把路由分级就行了，根路由 / 二级路由/admin 三级路由 /x
或者用动态路由 /admin?action=1
