FileSystem

Filesystem middleware for Fiber that enables you to serve files from a directory.

⚠️ :params & :optionals? within the prefix path are not supported!

Signatures

func New(config Config) fiber.Handler

Examples

Import the middleware package that is part of the Fiber web framework

import (
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/middleware/filesystem"
)

After you initiate your Fiber app, you can use the following possibilities:

// Provide a minimal config
app.Use(filesystem.New(filesystem.Config{
    Root: http.Dir("./assets")
}))
// Or extend your config for customization
app.Use(filesystem.New(filesystem.Config{
    Root:         http.Dir("./assets"),
    Browse:       true,
    Index:        "index.html",
    NotFoundFile: "404.html",
    MaxAge:       3600,
}))
