Mini tutorial to serve an image needed (Hello Pic)

[allegro....@gmail.com]

I am a newbe. I have practised tutorials on a site http://pedestal.io/guides/

Now I have started to add an image to a site I am building in Pedestal. I always get `Not Found` error for the pic.

I am looking for a small tutorial of add pics to the site. I mean static site. So anything to make `<img src="any_image.jpg">` html work.

In Pedestal you do not need special incantations for images.  If your program can respond to any particular url, such as /hello.html, then you could use the same technique to respond to /any_image.jpg.

For general grounding, I recommend "Web Development with Clojure" by Dmitri Sotnikov.  I have the 1st edition.  Images are on page 40.  The book is not about Pedestal exactly, but if your sample app can serve /hello.html then you have the Pedestal aspects pretty well in hand.

Hi Janek,

Welcome to using Pedestal and congrats on making your way through the guides!

In your project, you most likely have a public resources directory for putting things like HTML files and images.  It's typically found at resources/public within your Pedestal project.

The resource interceptor will always check to see if there's a resource that matches the URL set by a service's resource-path setting.  This interceptor is always included in the default interceptors.

If you place an image at resources/public/some_img.jpg and you make a request to http://localhost:8080/public/some_img.jpg you should see your image.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul,

thanks for the answer. It helped! Now my code is this:

(ns main
  (:require
    [io.pedestal.http.ring-middlewares]
    [io.pedestal.http.route :as route]
    [io.pedestal.http :as http]
    ))

(def routes
  (route/expand-routes []))

(def service-map
  {
   ::http/resource-path "/public"
   ::http/routes        routes
   ::http/type          :jetty
   ::http/port          8890
   })



(defn start []
  (http/start (http/create-server service-map)))

(defonce server (atom nil))

(defn start-dev []
  (reset! server
          (http/start (http/create-server
                        (assoc service-map
                          ::http/join? false)))))

(defn stop-dev []
  (http/stop @server))

(defn restart []
  (stop-dev)
  (start-dev))

I successfully tested it by curl:

janek@debian:~/proj/clojure-resources$ curl -sI -X GET http://localhost:8890/images/foo.jpg | grep 'HTTP/1.1'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Hi Paul,

I am new too with both pedestal and clojure. I like pedestal a lot but this exact similar problem is making me reconsider. 

I've posted a full detailed question on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66721281/pedestal-doesnt-serve-static-resource

I am trying to host a javascript file. And this simply doesn't seem to be working.

Is this something you can help me with?

I am sorry to be bothering you. I have the resource-path settings already. It doesn't work. I am missing something obvious.

I'll greatly appreciate your help on this.

Thanks,

Chillz
