Make sure KubeVela is installed in your cluster

Install route trait controller with helm

1. Add helm chart repo for route trait

   helm repo add oam.catalog  http://oam.dev/catalog/
   

2. Update the chart repo

   helm repo update
   

3. Install route trait controller

   helm install --create-namespace -n vela-system routetrait oam.catalog/routetrait

Setting route policy

Add routing config under express-server:

services:
  express-server:
    ...

    route:
      domain: example.com
      rules:
        - path: /testapp
          rewriteTarget: /

The full specification of route could show up by $ vela show route or be found on its reference documentation

Apply again:

$ vela up

Check the status until we see route is ready:
