clean-urls

Express/Connect middleware to serve static files from cleaner, extensionless urls.

Clean urls are only used for .html files. Useful for sites like blogs that are generated from static site generators such as Jekyll.

Install

npm install clean-urls --save

Usage

var express = require('express');
var cleanUrls = require('clean-urls');
 
var app = express();
 
app.use(cleanUrls(['/app/**']));
 
app.listen(3000, function () {
  
});

cleanUrls([rules, options])

• rules - OPTIONAL - this is where you define which paths get treated for clean urls. Values can be blank, true, false, a glob-like string (/app/**/*.html), or an array of globs.
• options
  • root - root directory of your static files. This is used to determine if the url maps a static file and to serve those static files.
  • index - name if the directory index file. Defaults to index.html. This is used to redirect you to the directory url instead of the index url and to serve the index file if it is a directory url.
