send
Send is Connect's `static()` extracted for generalized use, a streaming static file server supporting partial responses (Ranges), conditional-GET negotiation, high test coverage, and granular events which may be leveraged to take appropriate actions in your application or framework.
Installation
$ npm install send
Examples
Small:
js var http = require('http'); var send = require('send'); var app = http.createServer(function(req, res){ send(req, req.url).pipe(res); }).listen(3000);
Serving from a root directory with custom error-handling:
js var http = require('http'); var send = require('send'); var url = require('url'); var app = http.createServer(function(req, res){ // your custom error-handling logic: function error(err) { res.statusCode = err.status || 500; res.end(err.message); } // your custom directory handling logic: function redirect() { res.statusCode = 301; res.setHeader('Location', req.url + '/'); res.end('Redirecting to ' + req.url + '/'); } // transfer arbitrary files from within // /www/example.com/public/* send(req, url.parse(req.url).pathname) .root('/www/example.com/public') .on('error', error) .on('directory', redirect) .pipe(res); }).listen(3000);
API
- Events
- error an error occurred (err)
- directory a directory was requested
- file a file was requested (path, stat)
- stream file streaming has started (stream)
- end streaming has completed
.root(dir)
Serve files relative to `path`. Aliased as `.from(dir)`.
.index(path)
By default send supports "index.html" files, to disable this invoke `.index(false)` or to supply a new index pass a string.
.maxage(ms)
Provide a max-age in milliseconds for http caching, defaults to 0.
.hidden(bool)
Enable or disable transfer of hidden files, defaults to false.
Error-handling
By default when no `error` listeners are present an automatic response will be made, otherwise you have full control over the response, aka you may show a 5xx page etc.
Caching
It does _not_ perform internal caching, you should use a reverse proxy cache such as Varnish for this, or those fancy things called CDNs. If your application is small enough that it would benefit from single-node memory caching, it's small enough that it does not need caching at all ;).
Debugging
To enable debug() instrumentation output export DEBUG:
$ DEBUG=send node app
Running tests
$ npm install $ make test
