@types/serve-static

What is @types/serve-static?

The @types/serve-static package contains TypeScript type definitions for the serve-static middleware, which is used with Node.js HTTP servers to serve static files. These type definitions allow TypeScript developers to use serve-static in a type-safe manner, ensuring that they use the correct types for function arguments, return types, and object properties.

What are @types/serve-static's main functionalities?

Serve static files

This code sample demonstrates how to use serve-static with Express to serve static files from the 'public' directory. It also specifies that 'index.html' or 'index.htm' should be used as the default file to serve if a directory is requested.

import * as express from 'express';
import * as serveStatic from 'serve-static';

const app = express();

app.use(serveStatic('public', {'index': ['index.html', 'index.htm']}));

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
});
