static-spa
This is middleware for serving static files of single-page-applications. I mainly designed it for express, but it might also work for similar libraries.
Basic use:
const path = require('path');
const express = require('express');
const staticSpa = require('static-spa');
const app = express();
app.use(staticSpa(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.listen(8000);Unlike express.static, staticSpa will try to find the nearest index.html and serve that instead if the originally requested file doesn't exist.
It can also take an object for additional options.
app.use(staticSpa({
dir: path.join(__dirname, 'public'))),
index: 'foobar.html',
});Options
