How am I supposed to handle static files? #151

Closed sheepduke closed 6 years ago

Hey,

This may sound stupid, but how am I supposed to handle static files (i.e. CSS, JS etc) using clack?

For example Hunchentoot has a function to dispatch static files.

How can I achieve the same thing using clack so that CSS/JS files included by HTML can be handled properly? Or I have to create my own find-and-replace stuff to inject CSS/JS files into HTML?

I searched around for a long time but no luck. Thanks.

How about using the static file middleware as described here: https://github.com/fukamachi/lack

Thanks for your reply.

However, the example in lack just does not work, so I gave it up after a glance.

By the way I found the solution myself. I did not set the :content-type while returning static files. Thus CSS/JS files are treated as HTML, which led to unexpected result. So in clack I need to manually write static file handlers.

It is not easy to cover all MIME types. Hunchentoot has a mime-types.lisp file that is worth seeing...

EDIT: Add an example for potential needs from other people. Something like this:

`(200 (:content-type "text/css") ("p { color: red;}"))
