API

sendfile(context, filename)

You must pass the koa context. filename is the filename of the file.

sendfile returns a promise that resolves to the fs.stat() result of the filename. If sendfile() resolves, that doesn't mean that a response is set - the filename could be a directory. Instead, check if (context.status).

var sendfile = require('koa-sendfile')

app.use(function* (next) {
  var stats = yield sendfile(this, '/Users/jong/.bash_profile')
  if (!this.status) this.throw(404)
})
