# static
[![Pub](https://img.shields.io/pub/v/angel_static.svg)](https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/angel_static)
[![build status](https://travis-ci.org/angel-dart/static.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/angel-dart/static)
Static server middleware for Angel.
# Installation
In `pubspec.yaml`:
```yaml
dependencies:
angel_static: ^1.2.0
```
# Usage
To serve files from a directory, your app needs to have a
`VirtualDirectory` mounted on it.
```dart
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:angel_framework/angel_framework.dart';
import 'package:angel_static/angel_static.dart';
main() async {
final app = new Angel();
// Normal static server
await app.configure(new VirtualDirectory(source: new Directory('./public')));
// Send Cache-Control, ETag, etc. as well
await app.configure(new CachingVirtualDirectory(source: new Directory('./public')));
await app.startServer();
}
```
# Push State Example
```dart
var vDir = new VirtualDirectory(...);
var indexFile = new File.fromUri(vDir.source.uri.resolve('index.html'));
app.after.add((req, ResponseContext res) {
// Fallback to index.html on 404
return res.sendFile(indexFile);
});
```
# Options
The `VirtualDirectory` API accepts a few named parameters:
- **source**: A `Directory` containing the files to be served. If left null, then Angel will serve either from `web` (in development) or
`build/web` (in production), depending on your `ANGEL_ENV`.
- **indexFileNames**: A `List<String>` of filenames that should be served as index pages. Default is `['index.html']`.
- **publicPath**: To serve index files, you need to specify the virtual path under which
angel_static is serving your files. If you are not serving static files at the site root,
please include this.
- **debug**: Print verbose debug output.
- **callback**: Runs before sending a file to a client. Use this to set headers, etc. If it returns anything other than `null` or `true`,
then the callback's result will be sent to the user, instead of the file contents.
- **streamToIO**: If set to `true`, files will be streamed to `res.io`, instead of added to `res.buffer`.. Default is `false`.
# Transformers
`angel_static` now supports *transformers*. Similarly to `pub serve`, or `package:build`, these
let you dynamically compile assets before sending them to users. For example, in development, you might
consider using transformers to compile CSS files, or to even replace `pub serve`.
Transformers are supported by `VirtualDirectory` and `CachingVirtualDirectory`.
To create a transformer:
```dart
class MinifierTransformer extends FileTransformer {
/// Use this to declare outputs, and indicate if your transformer
/// will compile a file.
@override
FileInfo declareOutput(FileInfo file) {
// For example, we might only want to minify HTML files.
if (!file.extensions.endsWith('.min.html'))
return null;
else return file.changeExtension('.min.html');
}
/// Actually compile the asset here.
@override
FutureOr<FileInfo> transform(FileInfo file) async {
return file
.changeExtension('.min.html')
.changeContent(
file.content
.transform(UTF8.decoder)
.transform(const LineSplitter()
.transform(UTF8.encoder))
);
}
}
```
To use it:
```dart
configureServer(Angel app) async {
var vDir = new CachingVirtualDirectory(
transformers: [new MinifierTransformer()]
);
await app.configure(vDir);
// It is suggested that you await `transformersLoaded`.
// Otherwise, you may receive 404's on paths that should send a compiled asset.
await vDir.transformersLoaded;
}
```
## Pre-building
You can pre-build all your assets with one command:
```dart
configureServer(Angel app) async {
var vDir = new VirtualDirectory(transformers: [...]);
await app.configure(vDir);
// Build if in production
if (app.isProduction) {
await vDir.buildToDisk();
}
}
```
## In Production
By default, transformers are disabled in production mode.
To force-enable them:
```dart
configureServer(Angel app) async {
var vDir = new VirtualDirectory(useTransformersInProduction: true, transformers: [...]);
}
```
