StaticFileServer

open class StaticFileServer : RouterMiddleware

A router middleware that serves static files from a given path. By default, it will serve files from the “/public” directory.

Usage Example:

The example below creates and registers a StaticFileServer on the “/example” route. When the router is running, A user can make a request that matches the “/example” path (e.g. localhost:8080/example/hello.html). The static file server would look inside its “/files” folder for a file with the same name as the path following “/example” (e.g. “hello.html”). If a file is found it is sent as a response to that request, otherwise the next handler is called.

let router = Router()
router.all("/example", middleware: StaticFileServer(path: "./files"))
