Documentation

Function	Description	Example
setStaticServer	Sets the static server.
setRoutes	Sets the routes object.
exists	Verifies if the route does exist and returns true or false.
serve	Serves the file specified in routes object.
serveAll	Serves any file from root.

Example

File structure:

root/
├── index.js
└── public/
    └── html/
        ├── index.html
        ├── test1.html
        └── test2.html

For the file structure above, the following routes would serve files for each url:

{
    "/":       { "url": "/html/index.html" },
    "/test1/": { "url": "/html/test1.html" },
    "/test2/": { "url": "/html/test2.html" }
}

This is the content for index.js file.

// require Johnny's static
var JohnnysStatic = require("johnnys-node-static"),
    http = require('http');

// set static server: public folder
JohnnysStatic.setStaticServer({root: "./public"});

// set routes
JohnnysStatic.setRoutes({
    "/":       { "url": "/html/index.html" },
    "/test1/": { "url": "/html/test1.html" },
    "/test2/": { "url": "/html/test2.html" }
});

// create http server
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
    // safe serve
    if (JohnnysStatic.exists(req, res)) {
        // serve file
        JohnnysStatic.serve(req, res, function (err) {
            // not found error
            if (err.code === "ENOENT") {
                res.end("404 - Not found.");
                return;
            }

            // other error
            res.end(JSON.stringify(err));
        });
        return;
    }

    // if the route doesn't exist, it's a 404!
    res.end("404 - Not found");
}).listen(8000);
