如何使用 node.js 从服务器向 Angular 前端提供 30GB 的 pdf 文件（静态）？

Question

I have stored the path of folder which contains files in Mongodb database field but Angular does not take folder outside src in build so can't access files in folder should I send files from node using res.sendfile()?

Is there any way to access files in Angular without copying the folder in assets folder?because of the size I can't put files in assets folder.

Help is required as I'm totally confused and stuck at this problem for over 2 weeks.

Answer 1

A simple way to create a web server and serve your files from that folder, assuming you are in a node.js environment you can create web server with express js

const express = require('express')
const app = express();

//create a folder named files in the directory put files in this folder.
app.use(express.static('files'))

app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Assets server'));


app.listen(3000, () => console.log('listening on port 3000!'))

And you can access the files with urls like this way (You don't need to put in the angular assets folder).

eg url

eg:localhost:3000/files/file1.pdf

我不是 100% 确定我理解您的问题，但也许您可以使用符号链接将包含所有文件的文件夹链接到您的网站可以访问的另一个文件夹（在 Angular 网站结构下）？

I think this will be helpful

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const fs = require('fs')

app.get('/asset/:pdfname', function (request, response) {
const pdfname= request.params.pdfname;
const tempFile = "./public/pdf/"+ pfdname +".pdf";
fs.readFile(tempFile, function (err, data) {
    response.contentType("application/pdf");
    response.send(data);
  });
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server is running on Port 3000')
})

call url in browser

localhost:3000/asset/pdfname
