## Install
```sh
$ npm install serve-static
```
## API
```js
var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
```
### serveStatic(root, options)
Create a new middleware function to serve files from within a given root
directory. The file to serve will be determined by combining `req.url`
with the provided root directory. When a file is not found, instead of
sending a 404 response, this module will instead call `next()` to move on
to the next middleware, allowing for stacking and fall-backs.
#### Options
##### dotfiles
Set how "dotfiles" are treated when encountered. A dotfile is a file
or directory that begins with a dot ("."). Note this check is done on
the path itself without checking if the path actually exists on the
disk. If `root` is specified, only the dotfiles above the root are
checked (i.e. the root itself can be within a dotfile when when set
to "deny").
The default value is `'ignore'`.
- `'allow'` No special treatment for dotfiles.
- `'deny'` Send a 403 for any request for a dotfile.
- `'ignore'` Pretend like the dotfile does not exist and call `next()`.
##### etag
Enable or disable etag generation, defaults to true.
##### extensions
Set file extension fallbacks. When set, if a file is not found, the given
extensions will be added to the file name and search for. The first that
exists will be served. Example: `['html', 'htm']`.
The default value is `false`.
##### index
By default this module will send "index.html" files in response to a request
on a directory. To disable this set `false` or to supply a new index pass a
string or an array in preferred order.
##### lastModified
Enable or disable `Last-Modified` header, defaults to true. Uses the file
system's last modified value.
##### maxAge
Provide a max-age in milliseconds for http caching, defaults to 0. This
can also be a string accepted by the [ms](https://www.npmjs.org/package/ms#readme)
module.
##### redirect
Redirect to trailing "/" when the pathname is a dir. Defaults to `true`.
##### setHeaders
Function to set custom headers on response.
## Examples
### Serve files with vanilla node.js http server
```js
var finalhandler = require('finalhandler')
var http = require('http')
var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
// Serve up public/ftp folder
var serve = serveStatic('public/ftp', {'index': ['index.html', 'index.htm']})
// Create server
var server = http.createServer(function(req, res){
var done = finalhandler(req, res)
serve(req, res, done)
})
// Listen
server.listen(3000)
```
### Serve all files as downloads
```js
var contentDisposition = require('content-disposition')
var finalhandler = require('finalhandler')
var http = require('http')
var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
// Serve up public/ftp folder
app.use(serveStatic('public/ftp', {
'index': false,
'setHeaders': setHeaders
}))
// Set header to force download
function setHeaders(res, path) {
res.setHeader('Content-Disposition', contentDisposition(path))
}
// Create server
var server = http.createServer(function(req, res){
var done = finalhandler(req, res)
serve(req, res, done)
})
// Listen
server.listen(3000)
```
### Serving using express
```js
var connect = require('connect')
var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
var app = connect()
app.use(serveStatic('public/ftp', {'index': ['default.html', 'default.htm']}))
app.listen(3000)
```
