serve-root

express middleware to serve files in a directory as root

Installation

npm install serve-root --save

Usage

This module is useful for serving files that would normally be referenced from the root directory (favicons, sitemaps, etc), but that you would prefer to keep out of root for for organizational purposes. You can specify paths to these static resources, and incoming requests for the file name will be served those files.

var serveRoot = require('serve-root');
app.use(serveRoot({
    dir: __dirname + '/../icons',    // directory where the files are
    headers: {etag: false},          // custom headers for express sendFile
    paths: [
        '/favicon-16x16.png',
        '/favicon-32x32.png',
        '/favicon-96x96.png',
        '/favicon-194x194.png',
        '/favicon.ico',
        '/manifest.json'
    ]
}));
