ATTRIBUTES¶

Mojolicious::Static implements the following attributes.

classes¶

  my $classes = $static->classes;
  $static     = $static->classes(['main']);

Classes to use for finding files in "DATA" sections, first one has the highest precedence, defaults to "main".

  # Add another class with static files in DATA section
  push @{$static->classes}, 'Mojolicious::Plugin::Fun';

paths¶

  my $paths = $static->paths;
  $static   = $static->paths(['/home/sri/public']);

Directories to serve static files from, first one has the highest precedence.

  # Add another "public" directory
  push @{$static->paths}, '/home/sri/public';

METHODS¶

Mojolicious::Static inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

dispatch¶

  my $bool = $static->dispatch(Mojolicious::Controller->new);

Serve static file for Mojolicious::Controller object.

file¶

  my $asset = $static->file('images/logo.png');
  my $asset = $static->file('../lib/MyApp.pm');

Build Mojo::Asset::File or Mojo::Asset::Memory object for a file, relative to "paths" or from "classes". Note that this method does not protect from traversing to parent directories.

  my $content = $static->file('foo/bar.html')->slurp;

is_fresh¶

  my $bool = $static->is_fresh(Mojolicious::Controller->new, {etag => 'abc'});

Check freshness of request by comparing the "If-None-Match" and "If-Modified-Since" request headers to the "ETag" and "Last-Modified" response headers. These options are currently available:

etag

  etag => 'abc'
    

Add "ETag" header before comparing.

last_modified

  last_modified => $epoch
    

Add "Last-Modified" header before comparing.

serve¶

  my $bool = $static->serve(Mojolicious::Controller->new, 'images/logo.png');
  my $bool = $static->serve(Mojolicious::Controller->new, '../lib/MyApp.pm');

Serve a specific file, relative to "paths" or from "classes". Note that this method does not protect from traversing to parent directories.

serve_asset¶

  $static->serve_asset(Mojolicious::Controller->new, Mojo::Asset::File->new);

Serve a Mojo::Asset::File or Mojo::Asset::Memory object with "Range", "If-Modified-Since" and "If-None-Match" support.
