Static Files 🔗

The static files are automatically served from the resources/public folder (on the classpath):

• in Mill those are under my_project/resources/public
• in sbt those are under src/main/resources/public
• in scala-cli you need to manually tell it where to look for with --resource-dir resources

Let's serve an example.js file with Sharaf.
First create a file resources/public/example.js.
Put this text into it: console.log('Hello Sharaf!');.

Now create a file static_files.sc and paste this code into it:

//> using scala "3.7.0"
//> using dep ba.sake::sharaf-undertow:0.10.0

import ba.sake.sharaf.*
import ba.sake.sharaf.undertow.UndertowSharafServer

val routes = Routes:
  case GET -> Path() =>
    Response.withBody("Try /example.js")

UndertowSharafServer("localhost", 8181, routes).start()

println(s"Server started at http://localhost:8181")

and run it like this:

scala-cli static_files.sc  --resource-dir resources

Go to http://localhost:8181/example.js.
You will see the example.js contents served.
