I am creating the links shown in this example here. Can anyone help me with this?

can anyone tell me why the static files in the folder public are not working?

Hi @AritraBanik08

If you use the basic routing, then it's straight forward like this:

settings:
  staticDir = "tests/public"

routes:
  get "/":
    resp "Hello World"

And then ensure your are in the parent directory to tests/public. Files located in the public will then be fetched directly, like: curl 127.0.0.1:5000/tests/public/test.txt.

If you are using the method from example2.nim, then you need to dive into jesters code to ensure, that the handler for static-dir matching is used. Your code example only "approves" two routes - which does not include the static-dir.
