How to serve static files outside of aero on root route '/'? about aero HOT 4 CLOSED

I know it's annoying because sendFile() doesn't exist yet but something like this does work:

let serveJSFile = fileName => {
    return (request, response) => {
        let filePath = path.join(__dirname, fileName)
        let stat = fs.statSync(filePath)

        response.writeHead(200, {
            'Content-Type': 'application/javascript',
            'Content-Length': stat.size
        })

        fs.createReadStream(filePath).pipe(response)
    }
}

app.get('service-worker.js', serveJSFile('worker/service-worker.js'))
app.get('cache-polyfill.js', serveJSFile('worker/cache-polyfill.js'))

Note that this is just an example and it's not async. You can however easily create async controllers by promisify'ing the fs module and calling yield fs.statAsync(filePath) instead of fs.statSync.

I implemented sendFile() in app and response in version 1.4.4, see #83 for usage information.

Something like express.static is available if you specify a directory, e.g. images, inside the static array of your config.json file. Then the files inside images will be served under /images.

There is no sendFile function on the response object yet as I've only written Jade in my projects so far, never HTML directly.

You can however add a page with a controller (.js) that sends a file manually and route it to / via the url property in your .json file.

• Send the file manually by setting the response headers and reading from the file system using fs?
