The value of the root directive is inherited from the surrounding block, if it is not specified within the location itself. See this document for details.

The location / block is effectively the default location and matches any URI that does not match some other location block.

In your configuration, you specify the root as /home/ubuntu/demo/web_file/production for all URIs, except those that begin with /vendors, /src, or build.

You do not need to repeat an identical index statement in every location, as it is also inherited from the surrounding block, if it is not specified within the location itself. See this document for details.

For example:

root /home/ubuntu/demo/web_file;
index  index.html index.htm;
location / {
    root /home/ubuntu/demo/web_file/production;
}
location /vendors {
}
location /src {
}
location /build {
}
