# hyper-static - a static file handler for Rust/Hyper with minimal logic
Crate: <https://crates.io/crates/hyper-static>
Repository: <https://github.com/alttch/hyper-static>
The idea is to have a static file handler with no overhead. Make any handler
function for Hyper, with own logic, if static file needs to be returned - give
the crate a path and that is it.
* serves large files with zero-copy buffers
* correctly processes partial requests (Content-Range)
* crate errors can be transformed directly into Hyper results
Example:
```rust,ignore
// define some hyper handler
async fn handler(req: Request<Body>) -> Result<Response<Body>, http::Error> {
// ....
// serve a file when necessary
// in a simple way
let path = std::path::Path::new("/path/to/file");
return match serve::file(
&path,
Some("text/html"), // mime type
&req.headers(), // hyper request header map
65536 // buffer size
)
.await
{
Ok(v) => v, // return it
Err(e) => e.into(), // transform the error and return
};
// more complicated - analyze errors, e.g. log them
return match static_file(
&path,
Some("text/html"),
&parts.headers,
65536
)
.await
{
Ok(v) => {
debug!(
r#""GET {}" {}"#,
uri,
v.as_ref().map_or(0, |res| res.status().as_u16())
);
v
}
Err(e) => {
let resp: Result<Response<Body>, http::Error> = e.into();
warn!(
r#""GET {}" {}"#,
uri,
resp.as_ref().map_or(0, |res| res.status().as_u16())
);
resp
}
};
}
```
