Serving files

Static file serving

The utilities component @stricjs/utils provides 2 ways to serve static files.

Searching

Use the stream method to create a function to search for files based on the request pathname.

import { stream } from '@stricjs/utils';

// Dynamically search for files in the directory
export default { fetch: stream('public'); }; 

Grouping

Use the group method to create a router group that handle each file as a route.

import { Router } from '@stricjs/router';
import { group } from '@stricjs/utils';

// Register each file handler as a route
export default new Router().plug(group('public'));

This method is way faster than file searching but with drawbacks:

• Files shouldn't be deleted.

• More files can't be added after running.

• High memory usage if you have many files.
