express.favicon()

[Rob Faraj]

Can anyone help me figure out what express.favicon() actually does? 

I see this nifty light and dark blue favicon.ico in my browser after using this. How can I change it to be my nifty favicon.ico file?

it's a fast path to a favicon, typically one has static() lower in the stack so that routes can intercept if needed, however this is rarely needed for a favicon. favicon(__dirname + '/path/to/favicon.ico')

Thanks TJ. I should have looked in connect all along.

If anyone else has the same question, here is what I put to get it to work. The maxAge is a cache-control directive in milliseconds.

app.use(express.favicon(__dirname + '/public/favicon.ico', { maxAge: 2592000000 }));
