Bomb NPM | npm.io

bomb

A frontend cache-busting static middleware for express.

Acts as a static middleware
Serves on a hashed filename route too

###Install

npm install --save bomb

###Example

Let's say we want to serve all the css, js and HTML files in our public directory:

├── index.js
    └── public
        ├── example.css
        ├── example.js
        ├── other.txt
        ├── example.png
        └── other
            └── index.html

We can create a new bomb box and use it as a middleware:

var Express = require('express');
var Bomb = require('bomb');
var Path = require('path');

var app = Express();

var box = new Bomb.Box({
    url: '/public',                           // use this as the URL root
    path: Path.join(__dirname, 'public'),     // look in this directory for files
    regex: /\.(css|js|html)/                  // only serve files that match regex
    sendOptions: {}                           // options for the `send` module
});

app.use(box);

app.listen(4000);

We can now request the files on the natural or hashed URLS:
