What is superstatic?

Superstatic is a static file server that supports modern web development features such as clean URLs, custom headers, and redirects. It is often used for serving static websites and single-page applications (SPAs) with ease.

What are superstatic's main functionalities?

Serving Static Files

This feature allows you to serve static files from a specified directory. In this example, the server serves files from the './public' directory on port 3474.

const superstatic = require('superstatic');
const connect = require('connect');

const app = connect().use(superstatic({
  root: './public'
}));

app.listen(3474, () => {
  console.log('Server running on port 3474');
});

Clean URLs

This feature enables clean URLs, which means you can serve files without the '.html' extension. For example, 'example.com/about' will serve 'about.html'.

const superstatic = require('superstatic');
const connect = require('connect');

const app = connect().use(superstatic({
  root: './public',
  cleanUrls: true
}));

app.listen(3474, () => {
  console.log('Server running on port 3474');
});

Custom Headers

This feature allows you to set custom headers for your files. In this example, all HTML files will have a 'Cache-Control' header set to 'no-cache'.

const superstatic = require('superstatic');
const connect = require('connect');

const app = connect().use(superstatic({
  root: './public',
  headers: [{
    source: '**/*.html',
    headers: [{
      key: 'Cache-Control',
      value: 'no-cache'
    }]
  }]
}));

app.listen(3474, () => {
  console.log('Server running on port 3474');
});

Redirects

This feature allows you to set up redirects. In this example, requests to '/old-page' will be redirected to '/new-page' with a 301 status code.

const superstatic = require('superstatic');
const connect = require('connect');

const app = connect().use(superstatic({
  root: './public',
  redirects: [{
    source: '/old-page',
    destination: '/new-page',
    type: 301
  }]
}));

app.listen(3474, () => {
  console.log('Server running on port 3474');
});
