Static Fileserver Middleware

Serve static files from any route and any folder, like a window into an underlying filesystem.

Installation

yarn install static-fileserver-middleware

Usage

Example app:

var static = require('static-fileserver-middleware');
var app = require('express')();

app.get('/', (r, res) => res.send('<a href="/ok">Files</a>'));
app.use(static({ rootDir: './public' }));

app.listen(3000);

Example with different baseUrl:

var static = require('static-fileserver-middleware');
var app = require('express')();

var baseUrl = '/ok'
app.get('/', (r, res) => res.send('<a href="/ok">Files</a>'));
app.use(baseUrl, static({ baseUrl, rootDir: './public' }));

app.listen(3000);

Options

Option	Type
baseUrl	String
rootDir	String

Justification

The reasoning for making a new library for this was because none of the other ones worked when mounted not at the root.
