Static files

Rwf comes with a static files server built-in. It will handle serving files out of any directory and will automatically return the right Content-Type header (also known as MIME), based on the file extension.

Serve static files

The static files server is just another controller, implemented internally. To add it to your app, you can add it to the server at startup:

use rwf::controller::StaticFiles;
use rwf::http::{Server, self};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), http::Error> {
    let server = Server::new(vec![
        StaticFiles::serve("static")?,
    ])
    .launch("0.0.0.0:8000")
    .await
}

This example will serve all static files in the static directory under the /static route.
