Overview

The Rack::Static middleware intercepts requests for static files (javascript files, images, stylesheets, etc) based on the url prefixes or route mappings passed in the options, and serves them using a Rack::File object. This allows a Rack stack to serve both static and dynamic content.

Examples:

Serve all requests beginning with /media from the “media” folder located in the current directory (ie media/*):

use Rack::Static, :urls => ["/media"]

Serve all requests beginning with /css or /images from the folder “public” in the current directory (ie public/css/* and public/images/*):

use Rack::Static, :urls => ["/css", "/images"], :root => "public"

Serve all requests to / with “index.html” from the folder “public” in the current directory (ie public/index.html):

use Rack::Static, :urls => {"/" => 'index.html'}, :root => 'public'
