serve-directory

Serves pages that contain directory listings for a given path. forked from expressjs/serve-directory

Installation

yarn add serve-directory

Usage

import serveDirectory from 'serve-directory'

const directory = serveDirectory('wwwroot', options)

Serve directory indexes with vanilla node.js http server

see example.js

serveDirectory(path, options)

Returns middleware that serves an index of the directory in the given path.

The path is based off the req.url value, so a req.url of '/some/dir with a path of 'public' will look at 'public/some/dir'. If you are using something like express, you can change the URL "base" with app.use (see the express example).

options(Object)

serveDirectory accepts these properties in the options object.
