The optimized and lightweight middleware for serving requests to static assets
You may use sirv
as a very fast and lightweight alternative to serve-static
.
The massive performance advantage over serve-static
is explained by not relying on the file system for existence checks on every request. These are expensive interactions and must be avoided whenever possible! Instead, when not in "dev" mode, sirv
performs all its file-system operations upfront and then relies on its cache for future operations.
This middleware will work out of the box for Polka, Express, and other Express-like frameworks. It will also work with the native http
, https
and http2
modules. It requires very little effort to modify/wrap it for servers that don't accept the (req, res, next)
signature.
:bulb: For a feature-complete CLI application, check out the sibling sirv-cli
package as an alternative to zeit/serve
~!
$ npm install --save sirv
const sirv = require('sirv');
const polka = require('polka');
const compress = require('compression')();
// Init `sirv` handler
const assets = sirv('public', {
maxAge: 31536000, // 1Y
immutable: true
});
polka()
.use(compress, assets)
.use('/api', require('./api'))
.listen(3000, err => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('> Ready on localhost:3000~!');
});
Returns: Function
The returned function is a middleware in the standard Express-like signature: (req, res, next)
, where req
is the http.IncomingMessage
, res
is the http.ServerResponse
, and next
(in this case) is the function to call if no file was found for the given path.
When defined, a next()
callback is always called instead of the opts.onNoMatch
callback. However, unlike onNoMatch
, your next()
is given no arguments.
Type: String
Default: .
The directory from which to read and serve assets. It is resolved to an absolute path — you must provide an absolute path yourself if process.cwd()
is not the correct assumption.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Enable "dev" mode, which disables/skips caching. Instead, sirv
will traverse the file system on every request.
Additionally, dev
mode will ignore maxAge
and immutable
as these options generate a production-oriented Cache-Control
header value.
Important: Do not use
dev
mode in production!
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Generate and attach an ETag
header to responses.
Note: If an incoming request's
If-None-Match
header matches theETag
value, a304
response is given.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Allow requests to dotfiles (files or directories beginning with a .
).
Note: Requests to
/.well-known/*
are always allowed.
Type: Array<String>
Default: ['html', 'htm']
The file extension fallbacks to check for if a pathame is not initially found. For example, if a /login
request cannot find a login
filename, it will then look for login.html
and login.htm
before giving up~!
Important: Actually,
sirv
will also look forlogin/index.html
andlogin/index.htm
before giving up.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Determine if sirv
look for precompiled *.gz
files.
Must be enabled and the incoming request's Accept Encoding
must include "gzip" in order for sirv
to search for the gzip'd alternative.
Note: The
.gz
assumption also applies to theopts.extensions
list.
// NOTE: PSEUDO CODE
// Showing lookup logic
// Request: [Accept-Encoding: gzip] "/foobar.jpg"
lookup([
'/foobar.jpg.gz', '/foobar.jpg',
'/foobar.jpg.html.gz', '/foobar.jpg/index.html.gz',
'/foobar.jpg.htm.gz', '/foobar.jpg/index.htm.gz',
'/foobar.jpg.html', '/foobar.jpg/index.html',
'/foobar.jpg.htm', '/foobar.jpg/index.htm',
]);
// Request: [Accept-Encoding: gzip] "/"
lookup([
'/index.html.gz',
'/index.htm.gz',
'/index.html',
'/index.htm',
]);
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Determine if sirv
look for precompiled *.br
files.
Must be enabled and the incoming request's Accept Encoding
must include either "br" or "brotli" in order for sirv
to search for the brotli-compressed alternative.
Note: The
.br
assumption also applies to theopts.extensions
list.
When both opts.broli
and opts.gzip
are enabled — and all conditions are equal — then the brotli variant always takes priority.
// NOTE: PSEUDO CODE
// Showing lookup logic
// Request: [Accept-Encoding: br] "/foobar.jpg"
lookup([
'/foobar.jpg.br', '/foobar.jpg',
'/foobar.jpg.html.br', '/foobar.jpg/index.html.br',
'/foobar.jpg.htm.br', '/foobar.jpg/index.htm.br',
'/foobar.jpg.html', '/foobar.jpg/index.html',
'/foobar.jpg.htm', '/foobar.jpg/index.htm',
]);
// Request: [Accept-Encoding: br,gz] "/"
lookup([
'/index.html.br'
'/index.htm.br'
'/index.html.gz'
'/index.htm.gz'
'/index.html'
'/index.htm'
]);
Type: Number
Default: undefined
Enables the Cache-Control
header on responses and sets the max-age
value (in seconds).
For example, maxAge: 31536000
is equivalent to one year.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Appends the immutable
directive on your Cache-Control
header, used for uniquely-named assets that will not change!
Important: Will only work if
opts.maxAge
has a value defined!
Type: Boolean
or String
Default: false
Treat the directory as a single-page application.
When true
, the directory's index page (default index.html
) will be sent if the request asset does not exist.
You may pass a string
value to use a file instead of index.html
as your fallback.
For example, if "/about" is requested but no variants of that file exist, then the response for "/" is sent instead:
// Note: This is psuedo code to illustrate what's happening
// Request: "/about"
let file = find(['/about', '/about.html', '/about.htm', '/about/index.html', '/about.htm']);
if (file) {
send(file);
} else if (opts.single === true) {
file = find(['/', '/index.html', '/index.htm']);
send(file);
} else if (typeof opts.single === 'string') {
file = find([opts.single]);
send(file);
} else {
// next() or 404
}
Type: false
or Array<String | RegExp>
Specify paths/patterns that should ignore the fallback behavior that opts.single
provides.
By default, any asset-like path (URLs that end with an extension) will be ignored. This means that, for example, if /foobar.jpg
is not found, a 404
response is sent instead of the index.html
fallback.
Additionally, any /.well-known/*
pathname ignores the fallback – as do all other dotfile requests when opts.dotfiles
is enabled.
Any string value(s) will be passed through new RegExp(value, 'i')
directly.
Finally, you may set ignores: false
to disable all ignores, including the defaults. Put differently, this will fallback all unknown pathnames to your index.html
(or custom opts.single
value).
Important: Only has an effect if
opts.single
is enabled.
Type: Function
A custom function to run if a file cannot be found for a given request.
By default, sirv
will send a basic (404) Not found
response.
The function receives the current req <IncomingMessage>, res <ServerResponse>
pair for as its two arguments.
Note: This won't run if a
next
callback has been provided to the middleware; seesirv
description.
Type: Function
A custom function to append or change any headers on the outgoing response. There is no default.
Its signature is (res, pathname, stats)
, where res
is the ServerResponse
, pathname
is incoming request path (stripped of queries), and stats
is the file's result from fs.statSync
.
