This middleware has been renamed to static.
Static-file will no longer be maintained, but is left here for the sake of lingering dependencies.
You should update your Cargo.toml to use static at its new location: https://github.com/iron/static.
Static file-serving handler for the Iron web framework.
This example uses the mounting handler to serve files from several directories.
let mut mount = Mount::new();
// Serve the shared JS/CSS at /
mount.mount("/", Static::new(Path::new("target/doc/")));
// Serve the static file docs at /doc/
mount.mount("/doc/", Static::new(Path::new("target/doc/static_file/")));
// Serve the source code at /src/
mount.mount("/src/", Static::new(Path::new("target/doc/src/static_file/src/lib.rs.html")));
Iron::new(mount).listen(Ipv4Addr(127, 0, 0, 1), 3000);See examples/doc_server.rs for a complete example that you can compile.
static-file is a part of Iron's core bundle.
- Serve static files from a given path.
It works well in combination with the mounting handler.
If you're using a Cargo.toml to manage dependencies, just add the static_file package to the toml:
[dependencies.static_file]
git = "https://github.com/iron/static-file.git"Otherwise, cargo build, and the rlib will be in your target directory.
Along with the online documentation,
you can build a local copy with cargo doc.
