That is a good question :) There are two main methods for doing this:
You keep your js/css/images/etc. in different sub folders. For example, perhaps you keep everything in public/
, except your html files are in public/templates/
. In this case, you can split it by path:
var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
app.use('/templates', serveStatic(__dirname + '/public/templates', { maxAge: 0 }))
app.use(serveStatic(__dirname + '/public'), { maxAge: '1y' })
Your files are all inter-mingled and you want to apply the 0 max age to all files that are text/html
. In this case, you need to add a header setting filter:
var mime = require('mime-types')
var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
app.use(serveStatic(__dirname + '/public', {
maxAge: '1y',
setHeaders: function (res, path) {
if (mime.lookup(path) === 'text/html') {
res.setHeader('Cache-Control', 'public, max-age=0')
}
}
}))
Exactly what I want. thank you very much :D
I tried what you said @dougwilson , but the last one is the one getting set:
var oneDay = 86400000;
app.use('/dist/fonts', express.static(__dirname + '/dist/fonts', { maxAge : oneDay*30 })); //30 days
app.use('/dist/images', express.static(__dirname + '/dist/images', { maxAge : oneDay*30 })); //30 days
app.use('/dist/scripts', express.static(__dirname + '/dist/scripts', { maxAge : oneDay*30 })); //30 days
app.use('/dist/components', express.static(__dirname + '/dist/components', { maxAge : oneDay*30 })); //30 days
app.use('/dist/styles', express.static(__dirname + '/dist/styles', { maxAge : oneDay*30 })); //30 days
app.use('/dist/views', express.static(__dirname + '/dist/views', { maxAge : oneDay }));
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/dist', { maxAge: 9000000 })); //15 min (index.html)
All my resources are with max-age=9000 (last line). What am I missing? @gfaceless it worked for you?
Unless your URLs are http://127.0.0.1/dist/fonts/blah.woff
, then you should not have /dist/
in the URL part of app.use
.
That's true @dougwilson , my bad. sorry.
running the first suggestion now results in a type error.
TypeError: Router.use() requires a middleware function but got a Object
at
\node_modules\express\lib\router\index.js:458 throw new TypeError('Router.use() requires a middleware function but got a ' + gettype(fn))
I'm unsure how to adapt this.
Hi there, I'm using version footprint to manage my static assets (js/css/images), I would like to give html files
max-age:0
, and give all other assetsmax-age:'365d'
Currently I'm doing this by writing my own middleware, is there a way to do it using serve-static? maybe some filter function?
