Static

All web applications consist of a mix of technologies. Most human-facing websites serve up JavaScript, CSS, and HTML.

Some of these files make sense to generate dynamically, others can be served from a file on the filesystem. Here is where Clastic’s static serving facilities shine.

• StaticFileRoute * For when you have a single file at a single path * Will check for existence of file at startup by default, to be safe
• StaticApplication * For when you have a directory

Advanced static serving

• StaticApplications can overlap in paths, and if the first Application can’t locate the requested resource, the second Application will try, and so on. This makes it easy to serve multiple directories’ files from the same URL path.
