使用 expressjs 和 serve-static 在 Nodejs 中提供静态 .json 文件

Question

I Have the following code:

...
var servceStatic = require("serve-static");
var app = express();

app.use(express.compress());
app.use(servceStatic('static'));
...

Somehow it manages to serve all kind of files except those that end with ".json". Why is this?

Answer 1

you don´t need this module serve-static, because it is build in in express:

create a public folder and than just add this line to your code after your instantiation of express:

var path = require('path');
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

This should hand out all your files including the JSON files.

Answer 2

serve-static#index : By default this module will send “index.html” files in response to a request on a directory. To disable this set false or to supply a new index pass a string or an array in preferred order.

var path = require('path');
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public', {
    'index': ['index.json', 'index.html', 'index.htm'],
}));
