How to serve static files?

[dion-sony]

import {
  req,
  res,
  Server,
  serveStatic,
} from "https://deno.land/x/faster/mod.ts";

const port = parseInt(Deno.env.get("PORT") || "8080");

const server = new Server();

server.get(
    "/*",
    serveStatic("./dist"),
  );

console.log(`🚀 Listening on port ${port}: http://localhost:${port}`);
await server.listen({ port});

./dist is a regular web app, with ./dist/index.html and other assets. This content is served by other file servers no problem.

This fails: with the browser pointing to http://localhost:3000

❯ PORT=3000 deno run --allow-all --unstable server.ts
🚀 Listening on port 3000: http://localhost:3000

You are just pointing the static files directory. The system does not know that the route "/" is equivalent to "index.html". You also have to indicate the root route. I believe this might work: server.get( "/", async (ctx: any, next: any) => { ctx.redirect("/index.html"); await next(); }, );

Or, also, using the redirection middleware: server.get( "/", redirect("/Index.html"), );
