I'm new to koa.js library and I need some help. I'm trying to make simple REST application using koa.
I have a static html and javascript files I want to serve on route /
and REST API accessing from /api/
.
This is my project directory tree:
project
├── server
│ ├── node_modules
│ ├── package.json
│ └── src
│ ├── config
│ ├── resources
│ └── server.js
├── ui
│ ├── app
│ ├── bower.json
│ ├── bower_components
│ ├── dist
│ ├── node_modules
│ ├── package.json
│ └── test
This is my source:
var app = require('koa')();
app.use(mount('/api/places', require('../resources/places')));
// does not work
var staticKoa = require('koa')();
staticKoa.use(function *(next){
yield next;
app.use(require('koa-static')('../ui/app', {}));
});
app.use(mount('/', staticKoa));
// does not work
app.use(mount('/', function*() {
app.use(require('koa-static')('../ui/app/', {}));
}));
// does not work
app.use(mount('/', function*() {
app.use(require('koa-static')('.', {}));
}));
// GET package.json -> 404 not found
I've tried koa-static
, koa-static-folder
, koa-static-server
libraries and neither works so I'm doing something wrong.
I've tried this and it works, but I don't have access to my REST api:
var app = require('koa')();
app.use(require('koa-static')('../ui/app/', {}));
It was a little hard for me to follow what you were doing in your example code... Here is a simple example that does everything your wanting:
'use strict';
let koa = require('koa'),
send = require('koa-send'),
router = require('koa-router')(),
serve = require('koa-static');
let app = koa();
// serve files in public folder (css, js etc)
app.use(serve(__dirname + '/public'));
// rest endpoints
router.get('/api/whatever', function *(){
this.body = 'hi from get';
});
router.post('/api/whatever', function *(){
this.body = 'hi from post'
});
app.use(router.routes());
// this last middleware catches any request that isn't handled by
// koa-static or koa-router, ie your index.html in your example
app.use(function* index() {
yield send(this, __dirname + '/index.html');
});
app.listen(4000);
