tide-naive-static-files

A simple static file serving component for Rust's Tide web framework.

Acknowledgements

This code is based heavily on this archived example.

This crate is not officially associated with the tide project, it's more of an interim solution while tide is still in a state of (relative) flux.

Note on Version Numbers

Mistakes were made when initially selecting version numbers for this crate. In the Rust ecosystem, a 1.0.0 release generally means the crate is fit for production. This crate makes no such claim. It would be best to "divide by ten" when looking at the crate's version number (i.e. 2.0.1 should be thought of as 0.2.0.1).

Example

To use the library:

Define some state for your server.
Implement StaticRootDir on your state. This tells the library how to access the name of the root directory in which your static assets live.
Set up a get endpoint with a *path glob pattern (like /static/*path or /*path) and have it call the serve_static_files function.

```rust use std::path::{Path, PathBuf}; use tidenaivestaticfiles::{servestaticfiles, StaticRootDir}; use asyncstd::task;

struct AppState { // 1. staticrootdir: PathBuf, }

impl StaticRootDir for AppState { // 2. fn rootdir(&self) -> &Path { &self.staticroot_dir } }

fn main() { let state = AppState { staticrootdir: "./examples/".into(), };

let mut app = tide::with_state(state);
app.at("/static/*path") // 3.
    .get(|req| async { serve_static_files(req).await.unwrap() });

task::block_on(async move {
    app.listen("127.0.0.1:8000").await.unwrap();
})

} ```

Problems

Too many `task::block_on`s
