> The optimized and lightweight middleware for serving requests to static assets
|
||
|
|
||
|
You may use `sirv` as a *very* fast and lightweight alternative to [`serve-static`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/serve-static).
|
||
|
|
||
|
The massive performance advantage over `serve-static` is explained by **not** relying on the file system for existence checks on every request. These are expensive interactions and must be avoided whenever possible! Instead, when not in "dev" mode, `sirv` performs all its file-system operations upfront and then relies on its cache for future operations.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This middleware will work out of the box for [Polka](https://github.com/lukeed/polka), Express, and other Express-like frameworks. It will also work with the native `http`, `https` and `http2` modules. It requires _very_ little effort to modify/wrap it for servers that don't accept the `(req, res, next)` signature.
|
||
|
|
||
|
:bulb: For a feature-complete CLI application, check out the sibling [`sirv-cli`](https://github.com/lukeed/sirv/tree/master/packages/sirv-cli) package as an alternative to [`zeit/serve`](https://github.com/zeit/serve)~!
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Install
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
$ npm install --save sirv
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
const sirv = require('sirv');
|
||
|
const polka = require('polka');
|
||
|
const compress = require('compression')();
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Init `sirv` handler
|
||
|
const assets = sirv('public', {
|
||
|
maxAge: 31536000, // 1Y
|
||
|
immutable: true
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
|
||
|
polka()
|
||
|
.use(compress, assets)
|
||
|
.use('/api', require('./api'))
|
||
|
.listen(3000, err => {
|
||
|
if (err) throw err;
|
||
|
console.log('> Ready on localhost:3000~!');
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## API
|
||
|
|
||
|
### sirv(dir, opts={})
|
||
|
|
||
|
Returns: `Function`
|
||
|
|
||
|
The returned function is a middleware in the standard Express-like signature: `(req, res, next)`, where `req` is the [`http.IncomingMessage`](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_class_http_incomingmessage), `res` is the [`http.ServerResponse`](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v9.x/docs/api/http.html#http_class_http_serverresponse), and `next` (in this case) is the function to call if no file was found for the given path.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When defined, a `next()` callback is always called _instead of_ the [`opts.onNoMatch`](#optsonnomatch) callback. However, unlike `onNoMatch`, your `next()` is given no arguments.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### dir
|
||
|
Type: `String`<br>
|
||
|
Default: `.`
|
||
|
|
||
|
The directory from which to read and serve assets. It is resolved to an absolute path — you must provide an absolute path yourself if `process.cwd()` is not the correct assumption.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### opts.dev
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`<br>
|
||
|
Default: `false`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enable "dev" mode, which disables/skips caching. Instead, `sirv` will traverse the file system ***on every request***.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Additionally, `dev` mode will ignore `maxAge` and `immutable` as these options generate a production-oriented `Cache-Control` header value.
|
||
|
|
||
|
> **Important:** Do not use `dev` mode in production!
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### opts.etag
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`<br>
|
||
|
Default: `false`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Generate and attach an `ETag` header to responses.
|
||
|
|
||
|
> **Note:** If an incoming request's [`If-None-Match` header](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/If-None-Match) matches the `ETag` value, a `304` response is given.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### opts.dotfiles
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`<br>
|
||
|
Default: `false`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Allow requests to dotfiles (files or directories beginning with a `.`).
|
||
|
|
||
|
> **Note:** Requests to [`/.well-known/*`](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8615) are always allowed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### opts.extensions
|
||
|
Type: `Array<String>`<br>
|
||
|
Default: `['html', 'htm']`
|
||
|
|
||
|
The file extension fallbacks to check for if a pathame is not initially found. For example, if a `/login` request cannot find a `login` filename, it will then look for `login.html` and `login.htm` before giving up~!
|
||
|
|
||
|
> **Important:** Actually, `sirv` will **also** look for `login/index.html` and `login/index.htm` before giving up.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### opts.gzip
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`<br>
|
||
|
Default: `false`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Determine if `sirv` look for **precompiled** `*.gz` files.<br>
|
||
|
Must be enabled _and_ the incoming request's [`Accept Encoding`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept-Encoding) must include "gzip" in order for `sirv` to search for the gzip'd alternative.
|
||
|
|
||
|
> **Note:** The `.gz` assumption also applies to the `opts.extensions` list.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
// NOTE: PSEUDO CODE
|
||
|
// Showing lookup logic
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Request: [Accept-Encoding: gzip] "/foobar.jpg"
|
||
|
lookup([
|
||
|
'/foobar.jpg.gz', '/foobar.jpg',
|
||
|
'/foobar.jpg.html.gz', '/foobar.jpg/index.html.gz',
|
||
|
'/foobar.jpg.htm.gz', '/foobar.jpg/index.htm.gz',
|
||
|
'/foobar.jpg.html', '/foobar.jpg/index.html',
|
||
|
'/foobar.jpg.htm', '/foobar.jpg/index.htm',
|
||
|
]);
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Request: [Accept-Encoding: gzip] "/"
|
||
|
lookup([
|
||
|
'/index.html.gz',
|
||
|
'/index.htm.gz',
|
||
|
'/index.html',
|
||
|
'/index.htm',
|
||
|
]);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### opts.brotli
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`<br>
|
||
|
Default: `false`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Determine if `sirv` look for **precompiled** `*.br` files.<br>
|
||
|
Must be enabled _and_ the incoming request's [`Accept Encoding`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept-Encoding) must include either "br" or "brotli" in order for `sirv` to search for the brotli-compressed alternative.
|
||
|
|
||
|
> **Note:** The `.br` assumption also applies to the `opts.extensions` list.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When both `opts.broli` and `opts.gzip` are enabled — and all conditions are equal — then the brotli variant always takes priority.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
// NOTE: PSEUDO CODE
|
||
|
// Showing lookup logic
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Request: [Accept-Encoding: br] "/foobar.jpg"
|
||
|
lookup([
|
||
|
'/foobar.jpg.br', '/foobar.jpg',
|
||
|
'/foobar.jpg.html.br', '/foobar.jpg/index.html.br',
|
||
|
'/foobar.jpg.htm.br', '/foobar.jpg/index.htm.br',
|
||
|
'/foobar.jpg.html', '/foobar.jpg/index.html',
|
||
|
'/foobar.jpg.htm', '/foobar.jpg/index.htm',
|
||
|
]);
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Request: [Accept-Encoding: br,gz] "/"
|
||
|
lookup([
|
||
|
'/index.html.br'
|
||
|
'/index.htm.br'
|
||
|
'/index.html.gz'
|
||
|
'/index.htm.gz'
|
||
|
'/index.html'
|
||
|
'/index.htm'
|
||
|
]);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### opts.maxAge
|
||
|
Type: `Number`<br>
|
||
|
Default: `undefined`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enables the `Cache-Control` header on responses and sets the `max-age` value (in seconds).<br>
|
||
|
For example, `maxAge: 31536000` is equivalent to one year.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### opts.immutable
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean`<br>
|
||
|
Default: `false`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Appends the [`immutable` directive](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cache-Control#Revalidation_and_reloading) on your `Cache-Control` header, used for uniquely-named assets that will not change!
|
||
|
|
||
|
> **Important:** Will only work if `opts.maxAge` has a value defined!
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### opts.single
|
||
|
Type: `Boolean` or `String`<br>
|
||
|
Default: `false`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Treat the directory as a single-page application.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When `true`, the directory's index page (default `index.html`) will be sent if the request asset does not exist.<br>
|
||
|
You may pass a `string` value to use a file _instead of_ `index.html` as your fallback.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For example, if "/about" is requested but no variants of that file exist, then the response for "/" is sent instead:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
// Note: This is psuedo code to illustrate what's happening
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Request: "/about"
|
||
|
let file = find(['/about', '/about.html', '/about.htm', '/about/index.html', '/about.htm']);
|
||
|
if (file) {
|
||
|
send(file);
|
||
|
} else if (opts.single === true) {
|
||
|
file = find(['/', '/index.html', '/index.htm']);
|
||
|
send(file);
|
||
|
} else if (typeof opts.single === 'string') {
|
||
|
file = find([opts.single]);
|
||
|
send(file);
|
||
|
} else {
|
||
|
// next() or 404
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### opts.ignores
|
||
|
Type: `false` or `Array<String | RegExp>`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Specify paths/patterns that should ignore the fallback behavior that `opts.single` provides.
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default, any asset-like path (URLs that end with an extension) will be ignored. This means that, for example, if `/foobar.jpg` is not found, a `404` response is sent instead of the `index.html` fallback.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Additionally, any `/.well-known/*` pathname ignores the fallback – as do all other dotfile requests when `opts.dotfiles` is enabled.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Any string value(s) will be passed through `new RegExp(value, 'i')` directly.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Finally, you may set `ignores: false` to disable ***all*** ignores, including the defaults. Put differently, this will fallback ***all*** unknown pathnames to your `index.html` (or custom `opts.single` value).
|
||
|
|
||
|
> **Important:** Only has an effect if `opts.single` is enabled.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### opts.onNoMatch
|
||
|
Type: `Function`
|
||
|
|
||
|
A custom function to run if a file cannot be found for a given request. <br>By default, `sirv` will send a basic `(404) Not found` response.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The function receives the current `req <IncomingMessage>, res <ServerResponse>` pair for as its two arguments.
|
||
|
|
||
|
> **Note:** This won't run if a `next` callback has been provided to the middleware; see [`sirv`](#sirvdir-opts) description.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### opts.setHeaders
|
||
|
Type: `Function`
|
||
|
|
||
|
A custom function to append or change any headers on the outgoing response. There is no default.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Its signature is `(res, pathname, stats)`, where `res` is the `ServerResponse`, `pathname` is incoming request path (stripped of queries), and `stats` is the file's result from [`fs.statSync`](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_statsync_path).
