catcombo / go-staticfiles Goto Github PK

I think a good plus would be the embedding of files in go with some of these projects: https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go/blob/master/README.md#resource-embedding.

None of those projects has an hashing system/strategy as far as I know.

This project is wonderful and it's something I would have done - sooner or later. So thank you again.

I'm trying to use it but I have some doubts.

REPRODUCTION

You can find a reproduction of my project here: https://github.com/frederikhors/test_go_staticfiles

I'm using the amazing quicktemplate but you can try it with go templates too.

You can find a Readme.md in the project.

The branch master is without go-staticfiles, my doubts are in branch staticfiles.

You have a comparison here: https://github.com/frederikhors/test_go_staticfiles/compare/staticfiles?expand=1.

THE PROBLEM

If I follow your usage instructions I change my code from this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/base.css"/>

to this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{%s StaticFilesPrefix + Storage.Resolve("css/base.css") %}"/>

but the result is:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/"/>

instead of what I expect:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/base.934823cbc67ccf0d67aa2a2eeb798f12.css"/>

WHAT I TRIED

I understand this is a problem with the generated .json manifest you create.

I need to use this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{%s StaticFilesPrefix + Storage.Resolve("web\\static\\css\\base.css") %}"/>

to get something from Storage.Resolve().

I think because the content of .json manifest is:

{"paths":{"web\\static\\css\\base.css":"web\\public\\web\\static\\css\\base.934823cbc67ccf0d67aa2a2eeb798f12.css"},"version":1}

Now the final html is:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/web\public\web\static\css\base.934823cbc67ccf0d67aa2a2eeb798f12.css"/>

which is wrong again because my server is serving files from web/public/web/static folder (and this is ugly itself) but on path http://localhost:3000/static without the need for useless web\public\web\static\.

ANOTHER QUESTION

And why the backslashes?

Maybe a problem or maybe it's me.

Thanks again.

This project is amazing.

We can add/suggest this project on sites or aggregators to make it grow in number of stars.

What do you think about?

I do suggest some sites:

• https://go.libhunt.com
• https://awesome-go.com
• https://forum.golangbridge.org
• Golang newsletters
• In addition we could answer some questions on StackOverflow proposing the project

I think we can add an env var to enable/disable staticfiles.

Particularly useful for development vs production.

Something like: STATIC_FILES_ENABLED=true/false.

What do you think?

It would be amazing to change from this one:

favicon.01998662be09f970ca7aa8193a7a460c.ico

to:

favicon.8376ac71.ico

I think we do not need this very long hash. What do you think?

Is there already a way to exclude some files/folder?
