The docs at https://github.com/koajs/static and my personal experience trying out koa-static lead me to believe that you can only serve files from the root URL of your app.
For example:
app.use(serve('./some/dir/'));
Given the above use of serve
, the URL to access a file ./some/dir/something.txt
would be localhost:3000/something.txt
. There doesn't seem to be a way to configure my app such that the same file (and all other files in the same dir) is served at localhost:3000/static/something.txt
instead.
I'm new to Node and to Koa, so I've just begun to dive into this and I'm probably missing something really obvious.
app.use(route.get('/static/*'), serve(__dirname + '/some/dir'));
But upon requesting /static/something.txt
I was met with the following:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'apply' of undefined

To relocate middleware to another part of your app url-wise, you can use koa-mount
.
'use strict';
const koa = require('koa');
const mount = require('koa-mount');
const app = koa();
app.use(function* () { this.body = 'Hello, world'; });
app.use(mount('/foo', function*() { this.body = 'Hello, foo'; }));
app.listen(3000);
curl localhost:3000
> 'Hello, world'
curl localhost:3000/foo
> 'Hello, foo'
koa-router
itself does not support regex paths or parameter matching.
