This article provides a simple static file server built with pure Node.js without the use of a framework.
Node.js has many frameworks to help you get your server up and running.
The most popular are:
These will not suit every situation. A developer may need to build their own server without other dependencies.
A simple static file server built with Node.js:
var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');
http.createServer(function (request, response) {
console.log('request ', request.url);
var filePath = '.' + request.url;
if (filePath == './') {
filePath = './index.html';
}
var extname = String(path.extname(filePath)).toLowerCase();
var mimeTypes = {
'.html': 'text/html',
'.js': 'text/javascript',
'.css': 'text/css',
'.json': 'application/json',
'.png': 'image/png',
'.jpg': 'image/jpg',
'.gif': 'image/gif',
'.svg': 'image/svg+xml',
'.wav': 'audio/wav',
'.mp4': 'video/mp4',
'.woff': 'application/font-woff',
'.ttf': 'application/font-ttf',
'.eot': 'application/vnd.ms-fontobject',
'.otf': 'application/font-otf',
'.wasm': 'application/wasm'
};
var contentType = mimeTypes[extname] || 'application/octet-stream';
fs.readFile(filePath, function(error, content) {
if (error) {
if(error.code == 'ENOENT') {
fs.readFile('./404.html', function(error, content) {
response.writeHead(404, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' });
response.end(content, 'utf-8');
});
}
else {
response.writeHead(500);
response.end('Sorry, check with the site admin for error: '+error.code+' ..\n');
}
}
else {
response.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': contentType });
response.end(content, 'utf-8');
}
});
}).listen(8125);
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8125/');
Lines 1 through 3 load modules provided by Node.js, roughly similar to imports.
var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');
Afterward is the function for creating the server.
https.createServer
返回
Server
object, which we can start up by listening on port 8125.
http.createServer(function (request, response) {
...
}).listen(8125);
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8125/');
The following lines deal with logging the request URL and fixing it if it does not specify a file.
console.log('request ', request.url);
var filePath = '.' + request.url;
if (filePath == './') {
filePath = './index.html';
}
For example, if the URL sent is
example.org
, it will be interpreted as
example.org/index.html
.
Next, we lowercase and look for the extension of the file being requested to see if it matches with one of our
MIME 类型
. If no matches are found, we use the
application/octet-stream
as the default type.
var extname = String(path.extname(filePath)).toLowerCase();
var mimeTypes = {
'.html': 'text/html',
'.js': 'text/javascript',
'.css': 'text/css',
'.json': 'application/json',
'.png': 'image/png',
'.jpg': 'image/jpg',
'.gif': 'image/gif',
'.svg': 'image/svg+xml',
'.wav': 'audio/wav',
'.mp4': 'video/mp4',
'.woff': 'application/font-woff',
'.ttf': 'application/font-ttf',
'.eot': 'application/vnd.ms-fontobject',
'.otf': 'application/font-otf',
'.wasm': 'application/wasm'
};
var contentType = mimeTypes[extname] || 'application/octet-stream';
Lastly, we respond to the client with the file information. This function reads the file using our previously prepared
filePath
变量。
fs.readFile(filePath, function(error, content) {
...
});
The first thing we do is to compensate for any possible errors.
if (error) {
..
} else {
..
}
Most often, the error will be
ENOENT
, in which case we reply with a 404 error.
if(error.code == 'ENOENT') {
fs.readFile('./404.html', function(error, content) {
response.writeHead(404, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' });
response.end(content, 'utf-8');
});
}
else {
response.writeHead(500);
response.end('Sorry, check with the site admin for error: '+error.code+' ..\n');
}
Finally, if there are no errors, we send over the requested file.
response.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': contentType });
response.end(content, 'utf-8');
