static file serving for axum

You must use axum_static that matches your axum version.

• axum 0.6 => axum_static ~1.6.*
• axum 0.7 => axum_static ~1.7.*

First install crate.

cargo add axum_static

Then, create a static route and nest it in the existing route like so

let app = Router::new()
        .nest("/", axum_static::static_router("public"))

If your app has state, you'll need to add with_state, because static_router does not use state (()):

let app = Router::new()
        .route("/", get(index))
        ......
        .nest("/static", axum_static::static_router("static").with_state())
        ......
        .with_state(YourAppState { ... })

The argument of the static_router function is the path to read static files based on the project root path.

Then you can read the file like this. It can also be a sub directory.

This is the end.
