Havana static

A static response handler.

Havana static works with a server side response/request dispatcher such as Havana server or a library with an interchangeable API. When a dispatcher publishes a response.received event, Havana static will search the defined static directory for the resource. If Havana static matches the resource it will publish a response.send event, publishing the response data for consumption by the dispatcher. If Havana static does not match the resource it will publish a response.handler.error event to notify the dispatcher that it has not matched the resource.

How to install

npm install havana-static

How to use

import Event from 'havana-event';
import path from 'path';
import Server from 'havana-server';
import Static from 'havana-static';

const event = new Event();

const reporting = {
  'level': 2, 
  'reporter': console.log,
};

const server = new Server({
  'event': event,
  'reporting': reporting,
});

new Static({
  'event': event,
  'reporting': reporting,
  'rootDir': __dirname,
  'staticDir': 'public',
});

server.listen( 3000 );

Event list

Events take the form of Havana event or a library with an interchangeable API.

Publish

• response.handler.register: Signifies that Havana static will now attempt to handle requests.
• response.send: Signifies that Havana static has matched a request, publishing the response data for consumption by a request/response dispatcher.
• response.handler.error: Signifies that Havana static was unable to match a request.

Subscribe

• request.received: Allows a request/response dispatcher to notify Havana static that it has received a request, publishing the request data for consumption by Havana static.

ES2015+

Havana static is written using ES2015+ syntax.

However, by default this module will use an ES5 compatible file that has been compiled using Babel.

In the dist directory there are two files, the default is static.js.

Havana static currently requires the Babel polyfill. You are expected to supply this yourself. However, as a courtesy you will also find static.with-polyfill.js in the dist directory.
