How to set basepath/prefix in Loopback 4?

I want to set basepath to my application. I updated with 

await app.restServer.basePath('/api/v1');

in my "index.js" at my project root folder. But when I'm trying to access the explorer, throwing errors as "Cant get explorer". 

    await app.basePath('/api/v1'); 
       await app.restServer.basePath('/api/v1');
     this.static('/', path.join(__dirname, '../public'));
this.bind(RestBindings.SequenceActions.SEND).toProvider(Validateprovider);
        this.bind(RestExplorerBindings.CONFIG).to({
          path: path.resolve('/explorer'),
        });

Once the application is loaded, am able to access this URL: http://127.0.0.1:8020/api/v1 But when I click on explorer in the same page. Its not redirecting to explorer, instead giving error as

" Cannot GET /explorer/"

Please let me know how to access explorer with the prefix which I have mentioned.

problem probably is, that in /publix/index.html link to the explorer has not changed, and it points to /explorer. After changing base path you should change this link to {your new base path}/explorer. Changing the base path in the app does not update static resources. Basically, in index.html you should have:

<h3>API Explorer: <a href="/api/v1/explorer">/explorer</a></h3>

then it will work

You need to do this in application.ts.

this.bind(RestExplorerBindings.CONFIG).to({
  path: '/api/v1',
});

For more details, you can refer to the doc here.
