inertia

inertia is a VERY simple static file server for nodejs. so simple, it's retarded.

Installation

npm install inertia

Requiring

var inertia = require( 'inertia' );

Usage

var static = inertia.createHandler();

static.encoding       = 'iso-8859-1';                     // set character encoding
static.useCache       = false|true;                       // turn off/ on in-memory caching
static.useCompression = false|true;                       // turn off/ on compression

static.addFileHandler( /^static\..*\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$/i ) // regexp file handler
      .addFileHandler( 'foo', 'application/foo' )        // add a custom file type with a custom mime type
      .addFileHandler( 'html' );                         // add a standard file type, common mime types are handled internally

static.addDirHandler( './lib' );                          // serve all files from a specific directory

static.compress( 'css', 'html', 'js', 'json', 'txt' );    // compress (using deflate) files with specific extensions

static.maxAge( 'css', 'js'  60 * 60 * 24 )                // add max-age Cache-Control headers for specific extensions
      .maxAge( 'html',      60 * 60 )

http.createServer( function( req, res ) {
   if ( static.serve( req, res ) ) return;

   // otherwise, do something else...
} ).listen( '8080' );
