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');
});Express is a web application framework for Node.js, designed for building web applications and APIs. It is often used in conjunction with serve-static to serve static files, but it also provides a wide range of other features such as routing, middleware, template engines, and more.
Koa-static is similar to serve-static but is designed for use with Koa, another web framework for Node.js. It provides similar functionality for serving static files in Koa applications.
Connect-static is a middleware for Connect, which is an extensible HTTP server framework for Node.js and is used as the foundation for Express. It provides static file serving capabilities similar to serve-static.
