NGINX + backend API + Polymer routes all to Polymer

[MD Islam]

Description

The setup includes polymer on / and an API on /api/. This is maybe a nginx issue but I think it's related to Polymer.

Expected outcome

/ routes to Polymer views, /api/ calls the backend API

Actual outcome

All routes are captured by Polymer regardless of nginx setting. The /api/ route loads properly when cache/hard reload is cleared.

Do you have a live demo you can share? It could be related to the generated service worker - what happens if you don't include it (remove navigator.serviceWorker.register)?

[MD Islam]

@keanulee That would do it. I had to unregister it for the nginx routing to properly work.
