NAME
       Mojolicious::Static - Serve static files

SYNOPSIS
         use Mojolicious::Static;

         my $static = Mojolicious::Static->new;
         push @{$static->classes}, 'MyApp::Controller::Foo';
         push @{$static->paths}, '/home/sri/public';

DESCRIPTION
       Mojolicious::Static is a static file server with "Range",
       "If-Modified-Since" and "If-None-Match" support, based on RFC 7232
       <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7232> and RFC 7233
       <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7233>.

ATTRIBUTES
       Mojolicious::Static implements the following attributes.

   asset_dir
         my $dir = $static->asset_dir;
         $static = $static->asset_dir('assets');

       Subdirectory used for all static assets, defaults to "assets".

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

       Classes to use for finding files in "DATA" sections with Mojo::Loader,
       first one has the highest precedence, defaults to "main". Only files
       with exactly one extension will be used, like "index.html". Note that
       for files to be detected, these classes need to have already been
       loaded and added before "warmup" is called, which usually happens
       automatically during application startup.

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

         # Add another class with static files in DATA section and higher precedence
         unshift @{$static->classes}, 'Mojolicious::Plugin::MoreFun';

   extra
         my $extra = $static->extra;
         $static   = $static->extra({'foo/bar.txt' => '/home/sri/myapp/bar.txt'});

       Paths for extra files to be served from locations other than "paths",
       such as the images used by the built-in exception and not found pages.
       Note that extra files are only served if no better alternative could be
       found in "paths" and "classes".

         # Remove built-in favicon
         delete $static->extra->{'favicon.ico'};

   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';

         # Add another "public" directory with higher precedence
         unshift @{$static->paths}, '/home/sri/themes/blue/public';

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

   asset_path
         my $path = $static->asset_path('/app.js');

       Get static asset path.

   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", or return "undef" if it doesn't
       exist. Note that this method uses a relative path, but 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'});
         my $bool = $static->is_fresh(
           Mojolicious::Controller->new, {etag => 'W/"def"'});

       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'
           etag => 'W/"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 uses a relative path, but 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.

   warmup
         $static->warmup();

       Prepare static files from "classes" and static assets for future use.
