## Install
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) module available through the
|
||
|
[npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/). Installation is done using the
|
||
|
[`npm install` command](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-locally):
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
$ npm install serve-static
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## API
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### serveStatic(root, options)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Create a new middleware function to serve files from within a given root
|
||
|
directory. The file to serve will be determined by combining `req.url`
|
||
|
with the provided root directory. When a file is not found, instead of
|
||
|
sending a 404 response, this module will instead call `next()` to move on
|
||
|
to the next middleware, allowing for stacking and fall-backs.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Options
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### acceptRanges
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enable or disable accepting ranged requests, defaults to true.
|
||
|
Disabling this will not send `Accept-Ranges` and ignore the contents
|
||
|
of the `Range` request header.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### cacheControl
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enable or disable setting `Cache-Control` response header, defaults to
|
||
|
true. Disabling this will ignore the `immutable` and `maxAge` options.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### dotfiles
|
||
|
|
||
|
Set how "dotfiles" are treated when encountered. A dotfile is a file
|
||
|
or directory that begins with a dot ("."). Note this check is done on
|
||
|
the path itself without checking if the path actually exists on the
|
||
|
disk. If `root` is specified, only the dotfiles above the root are
|
||
|
checked (i.e. the root itself can be within a dotfile when set
|
||
|
to "deny").
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `'allow'` No special treatment for dotfiles.
|
||
|
- `'deny'` Deny a request for a dotfile and 403/`next()`.
|
||
|
- `'ignore'` Pretend like the dotfile does not exist and 404/`next()`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The default value is similar to `'ignore'`, with the exception that this
|
||
|
default will not ignore the files within a directory that begins with a dot.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### etag
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enable or disable etag generation, defaults to true.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### extensions
|
||
|
|
||
|
Set file extension fallbacks. When set, if a file is not found, the given
|
||
|
extensions will be added to the file name and search for. The first that
|
||
|
exists will be served. Example: `['html', 'htm']`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The default value is `false`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### fallthrough
|
||
|
|
||
|
Set the middleware to have client errors fall-through as just unhandled
|
||
|
requests, otherwise forward a client error. The difference is that client
|
||
|
errors like a bad request or a request to a non-existent file will cause
|
||
|
this middleware to simply `next()` to your next middleware when this value
|
||
|
is `true`. When this value is `false`, these errors (even 404s), will invoke
|
||
|
`next(err)`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Typically `true` is desired such that multiple physical directories can be
|
||
|
mapped to the same web address or for routes to fill in non-existent files.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The value `false` can be used if this middleware is mounted at a path that
|
||
|
is designed to be strictly a single file system directory, which allows for
|
||
|
short-circuiting 404s for less overhead. This middleware will also reply to
|
||
|
all methods.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The default value is `true`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### immutable
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enable or disable the `immutable` directive in the `Cache-Control` response
|
||
|
header, defaults to `false`. If set to `true`, the `maxAge` option should
|
||
|
also be specified to enable caching. The `immutable` directive will prevent
|
||
|
supported clients from making conditional requests during the life of the
|
||
|
`maxAge` option to check if the file has changed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### index
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default this module will send "index.html" files in response to a request
|
||
|
on a directory. To disable this set `false` or to supply a new index pass a
|
||
|
string or an array in preferred order.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### lastModified
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enable or disable `Last-Modified` header, defaults to true. Uses the file
|
||
|
system's last modified value.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### maxAge
|
||
|
|
||
|
Provide a max-age in milliseconds for http caching, defaults to 0. This
|
||
|
can also be a string accepted by the [ms](https://www.npmjs.org/package/ms#readme)
|
||
|
module.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### redirect
|
||
|
|
||
|
Redirect to trailing "/" when the pathname is a dir. Defaults to `true`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### setHeaders
|
||
|
|
||
|
Function to set custom headers on response. Alterations to the headers need to
|
||
|
occur synchronously. The function is called as `fn(res, path, stat)`, where
|
||
|
the arguments are:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `res` the response object
|
||
|
- `path` the file path that is being sent
|
||
|
- `stat` the stat object of the file that is being sent
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Examples
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Serve files with vanilla node.js http server
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
var finalhandler = require('finalhandler')
|
||
|
var http = require('http')
|
||
|
var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Serve up public/ftp folder
|
||
|
var serve = serveStatic('public/ftp', { index: ['index.html', 'index.htm'] })
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Create server
|
||
|
var server = http.createServer(function onRequest (req, res) {
|
||
|
serve(req, res, finalhandler(req, res))
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Listen
|
||
|
server.listen(3000)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Serve all files as downloads
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
var contentDisposition = require('content-disposition')
|
||
|
var finalhandler = require('finalhandler')
|
||
|
var http = require('http')
|
||
|
var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Serve up public/ftp folder
|
||
|
var serve = serveStatic('public/ftp', {
|
||
|
index: false,
|
||
|
setHeaders: setHeaders
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Set header to force download
|
||
|
function setHeaders (res, path) {
|
||
|
res.setHeader('Content-Disposition', contentDisposition(path))
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Create server
|
||
|
var server = http.createServer(function onRequest (req, res) {
|
||
|
serve(req, res, finalhandler(req, res))
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Listen
|
||
|
server.listen(3000)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Serving using express
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Simple
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is a simple example of using Express.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
var express = require('express')
|
||
|
var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
|
||
|
|
||
|
var app = express()
|
||
|
|
||
|
app.use(serveStatic('public/ftp', { index: ['default.html', 'default.htm'] }))
|
||
|
app.listen(3000)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Multiple roots
|
||
|
|
||
|
This example shows a simple way to search through multiple directories.
|
||
|
Files are searched for in `public-optimized/` first, then `public/` second
|
||
|
as a fallback.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
var express = require('express')
|
||
|
var path = require('path')
|
||
|
var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
|
||
|
|
||
|
var app = express()
|
||
|
|
||
|
app.use(serveStatic(path.join(__dirname, 'public-optimized')))
|
||
|
app.use(serveStatic(path.join(__dirname, 'public')))
|
||
|
app.listen(3000)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Different settings for paths
|
||
|
|
||
|
This example shows how to set a different max age depending on the served
|
||
|
file type. In this example, HTML files are not cached, while everything else
|
||
|
is for 1 day.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
var express = require('express')
|
||
|
var path = require('path')
|
||
|
var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
|
||
|
|
||
|
var app = express()
|
||
|
|
||
|
app.use(serveStatic(path.join(__dirname, 'public'), {
|
||
|
maxAge: '1d',
|
||
|
setHeaders: setCustomCacheControl
|
||
|
}))
|
||
|
|
||
|
app.listen(3000)
|
||
|
|
||
|
function setCustomCacheControl (res, path) {
|
||
|
if (serveStatic.mime.lookup(path) === 'text/html') {
|
||
|
// Custom Cache-Control for HTML files
|
||
|
res.setHeader('Cache-Control', 'public, max-age=0')
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
