File serving middleware

Install:

npm i file-mw

Example:

var http = require('http');
var fileMw = require('file-mw');


http.createServer(fileMw('publicDirectoryName')).listen(80);

API:

• fileMw(directoryPath, options) - Creates a handler that serves files from a directory
• fileMw.createFileHandler(filePath, options) - Creates handler that serves one file when called

The options object can have the following properties:

• cacheLevel - optional; Can be 'no-cache', 'public', 'private', or any valid value for the Cache-Control header.
• cacheSeconds - optional; The value appended to 'max-age=' in the Cache-Control header.
• buffer - default false; If true the file contents should be buffered into memory instead of being streamed from the filesystem.
• watch - default false; If true the file will be watched for changes and the updated file will be served.
• toUrlFormat - default implementation; A function that takes a filesystem path as a parameter and returns a URL path for that file.
