Class Rack::Static
In: lib/rack/static.rb
Parent: Object

The Rack::Static middleware intercepts requests for static files (javascript files, images, stylesheets, etc) based on the url prefixes or route mappings passed in the options, and serves them using a Rack::File object. This allows a Rack stack to serve both static and dynamic content.

Examples:

Serve all requests beginning with /media from the "media" folder located in the current directory (ie media/*):

    use Rack::Static, :urls => ["/media"]

Serve all requests beginning with /css or /images from the folder "public" in the current directory (ie public/css/* and public/images/*):

    use Rack::Static, :urls => ["/css", "/images"], :root => "public"

Serve all requests to / with "index.html" from the folder "public" in the current directory (ie public/index.html):

    use Rack::Static, :urls => {"/" => 'index.html'}, :root => 'public'

Serve all requests normally from the folder "public" in the current directory but uses index.html as default route for "/"

    use Rack::Static, :urls => [""], :root => 'public', :index =>
    'public/index.html'

Set a fixed Cache-Control header for all served files:

    use Rack::Static, :root => 'public', :cache_control => 'public'
