276 | Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple - Make serving static pages painless. |
277 | |
278 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
279 | |
b6fdf01d |
280 | package MyApp; |
281 | use Catalyst qw/ Static::Simple /; |
282 | MyApp->setup; |
b648683e |
283 | # that's it; static content is automatically served by Catalyst |
284 | # from the application's root directory, though you can configure |
285 | # things or bypass Catalyst entirely in a production environment |
286 | # |
287 | # one caveat: the files must be served from an absolute path |
6e89d83c |
288 | # (i.e. /images/foo.png) |
b1d96e3e |
289 | |
290 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
291 | |
bc5b1283 |
292 | The Static::Simple plugin is designed to make serving static content in |
293 | your application during development quick and easy, without requiring a |
294 | single line of code from you. |
b1d96e3e |
295 | |
bc5b1283 |
296 | This plugin detects static files by looking at the file extension in the |
297 | URL (such as B<.css> or B<.png> or B<.js>). The plugin uses the |
298 | lightweight L<MIME::Types> module to map file extensions to |
299 | IANA-registered MIME types, and will serve your static files with the |
300 | correct MIME type directly to the browser, without being processed |
301 | through Catalyst. |
b1d96e3e |
302 | |
303 | Note that actions mapped to paths using periods (.) will still operate |
304 | properly. |
305 | |
200e206c |
306 | If the plugin can not find the file, the request is dispatched to your |
b108737b |
307 | application instead. This means you are responsible for generating a |
200e206c |
308 | C<404> error if your applicaton can not process the request: |
309 | |
310 | # handled by static::simple, not dispatched to your application |
311 | /images/exists.png |
aa5935f1 |
312 | |
200e206c |
313 | # static::simple will not find the file and let your application |
314 | # handle the request. You are responsible for generating a file |
315 | # or returning a 404 error |
316 | /images/does_not_exist.png |
317 | |
bc5b1283 |
318 | Though Static::Simple is designed to work out-of-the-box, you can tweak |
319 | the operation by adding various configuration options. In a production |
320 | environment, you will probably want to use your webserver to deliver |
321 | static content; for an example see L<USING WITH APACHE>, below. |
322 | |
41cac5ef |
323 | =head1 DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR |
bc5b1283 |
324 | |
325 | By default, Static::Simple will deliver all files having extensions |
326 | (that is, bits of text following a period (C<.>)), I<except> files |
327 | having the extensions C<tmpl>, C<tt>, C<tt2>, C<html>, and |
328 | C<xhtml>. These files, and all files without extensions, will be |
329 | processed through Catalyst. If L<MIME::Types> doesn't recognize an |
330 | extension, it will be served as C<text/plain>. |
331 | |
332 | To restate: files having the extensions C<tmpl>, C<tt>, C<tt2>, C<html>, |
333 | and C<xhtml> I<will not> be served statically by default, they will be |
334 | processed by Catalyst. Thus if you want to use C<.html> files from |
335 | within a Catalyst app as static files, you need to change the |
336 | configuration of Static::Simple. Note also that files having any other |
337 | extension I<will> be served statically, so if you're using any other |
338 | extension for template files, you should also change the configuration. |
339 | |
340 | Logging of static files is turned off by default. |
b1d96e3e |
341 | |
342 | =head1 ADVANCED CONFIGURATION |
343 | |
bc5b1283 |
344 | Configuration is completely optional and is specified within |
fa25e422 |
345 | C<MyApp-E<gt>config-E<gt>{Plugin::Static::Simple}>. If you use any of these options, |
86880b0d |
346 | this module will probably feel less "simple" to you! |
b1d96e3e |
347 | |
bc5b1283 |
348 | =head2 Enabling request logging |
2de14076 |
349 | |
bc5b1283 |
350 | Since Catalyst 5.50, logging of static requests is turned off by |
351 | default; static requests tend to clutter the log output and rarely |
352 | reveal anything useful. However, if you want to enable logging of static |
353 | requests, you can do so by setting |
fa25e422 |
354 | C<MyApp-E<gt>config-E<gt>{Plugin::Static::Simple}-E<gt>{logging}> to 1. |
2de14076 |
355 | |
2268e329 |
356 | =head2 Forcing directories into static mode |
b1d96e3e |
357 | |
bc5b1283 |
358 | Define a list of top-level directories beneath your 'root' directory |
359 | that should always be served in static mode. Regular expressions may be |
360 | specified using C<qr//>. |
b1d96e3e |
361 | |
a5d909f1 |
362 | MyApp->config( |
fa25e422 |
363 | 'Plugin::Static::Simple' => { |
a5d909f1 |
364 | dirs => [ |
365 | 'static', |
366 | qr/^(images|css)/, |
367 | ], |
368 | } |
369 | ); |
b1d96e3e |
370 | |
fa43d6b5 |
371 | =head2 Including additional directories |
b1d96e3e |
372 | |
373 | You may specify a list of directories in which to search for your static |
bc5b1283 |
374 | files. The directories will be searched in order and will return the |
375 | first file found. Note that your root directory is B<not> automatically |
376 | added to the search path when you specify an C<include_path>. You should |
377 | use C<MyApp-E<gt>config-E<gt>{root}> to add it. |
b1d96e3e |
378 | |
a5d909f1 |
379 | MyApp->config( |
fa25e422 |
380 | 'Plugin::Static::Simple' => { |
a5d909f1 |
381 | include_path => [ |
382 | '/path/to/overlay', |
383 | \&incpath_generator, |
384 | MyApp->config->{root}, |
385 | ], |
386 | }, |
387 | ); |
b108737b |
388 | |
bc5b1283 |
389 | With the above setting, a request for the file C</images/logo.jpg> will search |
b1d96e3e |
390 | for the following files, returning the first one found: |
391 | |
392 | /path/to/overlay/images/logo.jpg |
393 | /dynamic/path/images/logo.jpg |
394 | /your/app/home/root/images/logo.jpg |
b108737b |
395 | |
b1d96e3e |
396 | The include path can contain a subroutine reference to dynamically return a |
bc5b1283 |
397 | list of available directories. This method will receive the C<$c> object as a |
b1d96e3e |
398 | parameter and should return a reference to a list of directories. Errors can |
bc5b1283 |
399 | be reported using C<die()>. This method will be called every time a file is |
b1d96e3e |
400 | requested that appears to be a static file (i.e. it has an extension). |
401 | |
402 | For example: |
403 | |
404 | sub incpath_generator { |
405 | my $c = shift; |
a5d909f1 |
406 | |
b1d96e3e |
407 | if ( $c->session->{customer_dir} ) { |
408 | return [ $c->session->{customer_dir} ]; |
409 | } else { |
410 | die "No customer dir defined."; |
411 | } |
412 | } |

414 | =head2 Ignoring certain types of files |
415 | |
bc5b1283 |
416 | There are some file types you may not wish to serve as static files. |
417 | Most important in this category are your raw template files. By |
418 | default, files with the extensions C<tmpl>, C<tt>, C<tt2>, C<html>, and |
419 | C<xhtml> will be ignored by Static::Simple in the interest of security. |
420 | If you wish to define your own extensions to ignore, use the |
421 | C<ignore_extensions> option: |
8cc672a2 |
422 | |
a5d909f1 |
423 | MyApp->config( |
fa25e422 |
424 | 'Plugin::Static::Simple' => { |
a5d909f1 |
425 | ignore_extensions => [ qw/html asp php/ ], |
426 | }, |
427 | ); |
b108737b |
428 | |
8cc672a2 |
429 | =head2 Ignoring entire directories |
430 | |
bc5b1283 |
431 | To prevent an entire directory from being served statically, you can use |
432 | the C<ignore_dirs> option. This option contains a list of relative |
433 | directory paths to ignore. If using C<include_path>, the path will be |
434 | checked against every included path. |
8cc672a2 |
435 | |
a5d909f1 |
436 | MyApp->config( |
fa25e422 |
437 | 'Plugin::Static::Simple' => { |
a5d909f1 |
438 | ignore_dirs => [ qw/tmpl css/ ], |
439 | }, |
440 | ); |
b108737b |
441 | |
bc5b1283 |
442 | For example, if combined with the above C<include_path> setting, this |
443 | C<ignore_dirs> value will ignore the following directories if they exist: |
8cc672a2 |
444 | |
445 | /path/to/overlay/tmpl |
446 | /path/to/overlay/css |
447 | /dynamic/path/tmpl |
448 | /dynamic/path/css |
449 | /your/app/home/root/tmpl |
b108737b |
450 | /your/app/home/root/css |

452 | =head2 Custom MIME types |
b1d96e3e |
453 | |
bc5b1283 |
454 | To override or add to the default MIME types set by the L<MIME::Types> |
455 | module, you may enter your own extension to MIME type mapping. |
b1d96e3e |
456 | |
a5d909f1 |
457 | MyApp->config( |
fa25e422 |
458 | 'Plugin::Static::Simple' => { |
a5d909f1 |
459 | mime_types => { |
460 | jpg => 'image/jpg', |
461 | png => 'image/png', |
462 | }, |
463 | }, |
464 | ); |
2268e329 |

466 | =head2 Controlling caching with Expires header |
467 | |
468 | The files served by Static::Simple will have a Last-Modified header set, |
469 | which allows some browsers to cache them for a while. However if you want |
470 | to explicitly set an Expires header, such as to allow proxies to cache your |
471 | static content, then you can do so by setting the "expires" config option. |
472 | |
473 | The value indicates the number of seconds after access time to allow caching. |
474 | So a value of zero really means "don't cache at all", and any higher values |
475 | will keep the file around for that long. |
476 | |
477 | MyApp->config( |
fa25e422 |
478 | 'Plugin::Static::Simple' => { |
41cac5ef |
479 | expires => 3600, # Caching allowed for one hour. |
480 | }, |
481 | ); |

483 | =head2 Compatibility with other plugins |
b1d96e3e |
484 | |
d38d0ed6 |
485 | Since version 0.12, Static::Simple plays nice with other plugins. It no |
bc5b1283 |
486 | longer short-circuits the C<prepare_action> stage as it was causing too |
487 | many compatibility issues with other plugins. |

500 | =head1 USING WITH APACHE |
501 | |
6e89d83c |
502 | While Static::Simple will work just fine serving files through Catalyst |
503 | in mod_perl, for increased performance you may wish to have Apache |
504 | handle the serving of your static files directly. To do this, simply use |
505 | a dedicated directory for your static files and configure an Apache |
506 | Location block for that directory This approach is recommended for |
507 | production installations. |
2cb3d585 |
508 | |
6e89d83c |
509 | <Location /myapp/static> |
2cb3d585 |
510 | SetHandler default-handler |
511 | </Location> |
b1d96e3e |
512 | |
bc5b1283 |
513 | Using this approach Apache will bypass any handling of these directories |
514 | through Catalyst. You can leave Static::Simple as part of your |
515 | application, and it will continue to function on a development server, |
516 | or using Catalyst's built-in server. |
517 | |
6e89d83c |
518 | In practice, your Catalyst application is probably (i.e. should be) |
519 | structured in the recommended way (i.e., that generated by bootstrapping |
520 | the application with the C<catalyst.pl> script, with a main directory |
521 | under which is a C<lib/> directory for module files and a C<root/> |
522 | directory for templates and static files). Thus, unless you break up |
523 | this structure when deploying your app by moving the static files to a |
524 | different location in your filesystem, you will need to use an Alias |
525 | directive in Apache to point to the right place. You will then need to |
526 | add a Directory block to give permission for Apache to serve these |
527 | files. The final configuration will look something like this: |
528 | |
529 | Alias /myapp/static /filesystem/path/to/MyApp/root/static |
530 | <Directory /filesystem/path/to/MyApp/root/static> |
531 | allow from all |
532 | </Directory> |
533 | <Location /myapp/static> |
534 | SetHandler default-handler |
535 | </Location> |
536 | |
071c0042 |
537 | If you are running in a VirtualHost, you can just set the DocumentRoot |
b108737b |
538 | location to the location of your root directory; see |
071c0042 |
539 | L<Catalyst::Engine::Apache2::MP20>. |
