node-static is an RFC 2616 compliant static-file server module for Node.js with built-in caching support. It handles conditional GET and HEAD requests and can be embedded into any Node.js HTTP server to serve files from a directory.
Use cases
- serve static files from a node http server
- serve a public folder with cache-control headers
- handle conditional GET requests for static assets
- serve custom error pages on 404
- embed a static file server in an existing node app
When to avoid
- you just need a standalone static file server with no code (use serve, http-server, or nginx)
- you need advanced features like HTTP/2, compression, or load balancing
