broomstick

Lightweight streaming and in-memory caching static file middleware for Director

install

npm install broomstick

usage

If you would like to have a ./public folder with an index.html and some images in it, the following will suffice:

var http = require('http'),
    director = require('director'),
    broomstick = require('broomstick');
 
var broom = new broomstick();
var router = new director.http.Router();
 
router.get('*', broom);
 
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  router.dispatch(req, res);
});
 
server.listen(8080);

configuration

When creating a new broomstick() object, you can specify options. These are the defaults:

var broom = new broomstick({
  path: 'public',
  verbose: false,
  index: 'index.html' // default file to load on ./ paths
});

test

$ node examples/test.js

...and in a separate terminal:

$ curl http://localhost:8080/hello.txt
Hello world!
