extension-serve-static

serve-static based on file name extensions

based on serve-static

All in serve-static documentation is working here. But extension-serve-static add one mandatory parameter:

staticExtensions

staticExtensions is a white list of extensions names for serve, this allows something like this:

var connect = require('connect')
var extensionServeStatic = require('extension-serve-static')

var app = connect()

// Serve up all folders for images
app.use(extensionServeStatic('/', {
    extensions: ['html', 'htm'], 
    index: 'index.html', 
    staticExtensions: ['', 'html', 'htm', 'png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif']
})

// Listen
app.listen(3000)

default extensions

For use the serve-static extensions parameter you must include de empty string ('') in the staticExtension list (as you see in the example).

mime types

extension-serve-static also search the extension in the mime types. If you need to add a non standard extension you can add it in the mime field

var connect = require('connect')
var extensionServeStatic = require('extension-serve-static')

var mime = extensionServeStatic.mime;

mime.types.specialimage = 'image/special';

var app = connect()

// Serve up all folders for images
app.use(extensionServeStatic('/', {
    extensions: ['html', 'htm'], 
    index: 'index.html', 
    staticExtensions: ['', 'html', 'htm', 'png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'specialimage']
})

// Listen
app.listen(3000)
