Handle static files

[Daimrod]

Hi,

I've played a bit with Hunchentoot and I'm now trying Restas and I would
like to know what was the cleanest way to handle static files like
JavaScript files or images.

I've tried to define my own acceptor and to set the slot DOCUMENT-ROOT
but hunchentoot:handle-static-file, the method used when a route returns
a pathname, doesn't seem to use it.

So I've made a custom route like this

(define-route script-js ("*/:(name).js")
;; Route used to find JavaScript files
(declare (ignorable ||))
(make-pathname :name name
:type "js"
:directory '(:relative "script")))

And I use the following files hierarchy:

project/
| *.lisp
| *.asd
| README
| script/*.js
| images/*.(png|jpg|...)

Though I would like to put the directories script/ and images/ in a www/
without having to specify it in the route '(:relative "images") and not
'(:relative "www" "images").

project/
| *.lisp
| *.asd
| README
| www/
| script/*.js
| images/*.(png|jpg|...)

Or another solution would be to use a special variable *document-root*
for this module and use my own function to return the correct pathname.

What do you think?

Hi,

You can use my restas.directory-publisher
(https://github.com/archimag/restas-directory-publisher) module (see
example directory) or restas.file-publisher
(https://github.com/kevinlynx/restas.file-publisher). Both modules are
available via quicklisp.

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for.
Looks like I should have read the documentation more carefully!
