serving static assets in a subfolder other than the defaults

[kevin thompson]

Purely as a learning exercise, I'm trying to serve up a reveal.js page using phoenix. The steps seem pretty simple, I create the app, download the dependencies, etc.

Then I go into /priv/static and I delete everything that was created there.

Next, I take all the content from the reveal.js git page (https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js) and I copy it into /priv/static.

Finally, I copied the index.html file to /web/templates/layout/app.html.eex and run mix phoenix.server.

When I visit the page, I see that all of the static assets that are in a subfolder called /lib do not load. For example, the page gets a 404 for http://localhost:4000/lib/js/head.min.js However the other stuff on the page loads fine. So this might be a silly question, but will Phoenix not serve static assets that are in a folder which is not named js, images, or css? The documentation for static assets implies that whatever is in that folder should be available. I didn't see any exceptions or special configuration required.

you need to add the /priv/static/* folders you want to expose to the `:only` option to Plug.Static in endpoint.ex. We expose js, css, images, and robots.txt by default. You should be able to add /lib and be all set.

Awesome, Chris, thank you. That worked for me. It looks like at one time there was a documentation page on static assets (http://www.phoenixframework.org/v0.7.2/docs/static-assets) but there isn't one for the current version of the framework. I'm just wondering where I should have looked to find this answer.
