What is serve-handler?

The serve-handler package is designed to be used with a Node.js server to serve static files, single-page applications, and directory listings. It provides a simple way to configure how files are served, with options for rewrites, redirects, headers, and more.

What are serve-handler's main functionalities?

Serving static files

This code creates a simple server that serves static files from the current directory on port 3000 using the default configuration.

const serveHandler = require('serve-handler');
const http = require('http');

http.createServer((request, response) => {
  return serveHandler(request, response);
}).listen(3000);

Custom routing with rewrites

This code demonstrates how to use the rewrites option to redirect requests from 'some/path/*' to '/index.html', which is useful for single-page applications.

const serveHandler = require('serve-handler');
const http = require('http');

http.createServer((request, response) => {
  return serveHandler(request, response, {
    rewrites: [{ source: 'some/path/*', destination: '/index.html' }]
  });
}).listen(3000);

Custom headers

This code shows how to set custom headers for all files served. In this example, all responses will include the 'X-Custom-Header' with the value 'Custom Value'.

const serveHandler = require('serve-handler');
const http = require('http');

http.createServer((request, response) => {
  return serveHandler(request, response, {
    headers: [{ source: '**/*', headers: [{ key: 'X-Custom-Header', value: 'Custom Value' }] }]
  });
}).listen(3000);

Directory listings

This code enables directory listings, allowing users to view the contents of directories that do not contain an index file.

const serveHandler = require('serve-handler');
const http = require('http');

http.createServer((request, response) => {
  return serveHandler(request, response, {
    directoryListing: true
  });
}).listen(3000);
