247 Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple - Make serving static pages painless.
252 MyApp->setup( qw/Static::Simple/ );
256 The Static::Simple plugin is designed to make serving static content in your
257 application during development quick and easy, without requiring a single
258 line of code from you.
260 It will detect static files used in your application by looking for file
261 extensions in the URI. By default, you can simply load this plugin and it
262 will immediately begin serving your static files with the correct MIME type.
263 The light-weight MIME::Types module is used to map file extensions to
264 IANA-registered MIME types.
266 Note that actions mapped to paths using periods (.) will still operate
269 You may further tweak the operation by adding configuration options, described
272 =head1 ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
274 Configuration is completely optional and is specified within
275 MyApp->config->{static}. If you use any of these options, the module will
276 probably feel less "simple" to you!
278 =head2 Aborting request logging
280 Since Catalyst 5.50, there has been added support for dropping logging for a
281 request. This is enabled by default for static files, as static requests tend
282 to clutter the log output. However, if you want logging of static requests,
283 you can enable it by setting MyApp->config->{static}->{no_logs} to 0.
285 =head2 Forcing directories into static mode
287 Define a list of top-level directories beneath your 'root' directory that
288 should always be served in static mode. Regular expressions may be
289 specified using qr//.
291 MyApp->config->{static}->{dirs} = [
296 =head2 Including additional directories
298 You may specify a list of directories in which to search for your static
299 files. The directories will be searched in order and will return the first
300 file found. Note that your root directory is B<not> automatically added to
301 the search path when you specify an include_path. You should use
302 MyApp->config->{root} to add it.
304 MyApp->config->{static}->{include_path} = [
307 MyApp->config->{root}
310 With the above setting, a request for the file /images/logo.jpg will search
311 for the following files, returning the first one found:
313 /path/to/overlay/images/logo.jpg
314 /dynamic/path/images/logo.jpg
315 /your/app/home/root/images/logo.jpg
317 The include path can contain a subroutine reference to dynamically return a
318 list of available directories. This method will receive the $c object as a
319 parameter and should return a reference to a list of directories. Errors can
320 be reported using die(). This method will be called every time a file is
321 requested that appears to be a static file (i.e. it has an extension).
325 sub incpath_generator {
328 if ( $c->session->{customer_dir} ) {
329 return [ $c->session->{customer_dir} ];
331 die "No customer dir defined.";
335 =head2 Ignoring certain types of files
337 There are some file types you may not wish to serve as static files. Most
338 important in this category are your raw template files. By default, files
339 with the extensions tt, tt2, html, and xhtml will be ignored by Static::Simple
340 in the interest of security. If you wish to define your own extensions to
341 ignore, use the ignore_extensions option:
343 MyApp->config->{static}->{ignore_extensions} = [ qw/tt tt2 html xhtml/ ];
345 =head2 Ignoring entire directories
347 To prevent an entire directory from being served statically, you can use the
348 ignore_dirs option. This option contains a list of relative directory paths
349 to ignore. If using include_path, the path will be checked against every
352 MyApp->config->{static}->{ignore_dirs} = [ qw/tmpl css/ ];
354 For example, if combined with the above include_path setting, this
355 ignore_dirs value will ignore the following directories if they exist:
357 /path/to/overlay/tmpl
361 /your/app/home/root/tmpl
362 /your/app/home/root/css
364 =head2 Custom MIME types
366 To override or add to the default MIME types set by the MIME::Types module,
367 you may enter your own extension to MIME type mapping.
369 MyApp->config->{static}->{mime_types} = {
374 =head2 Bypassing other plugins
376 This plugin checks for a static file in the prepare_action stage. If the
377 request is for a static file, it will bypass all remaining prepare_action
378 steps. This means that by placing Static::Simple before all other plugins,
379 they will not execute when a static file is found. This can be helpful by
380 skipping session cookie checks for example. Or, if you want some plugins
381 to run even on static files, list them before Static::Simple.
383 Currently, work done by plugins in any other prepare method will execute
386 =head2 Debugging information
388 Enable additional debugging information printed in the Catalyst log. This
389 is automatically enabled when running Catalyst in -Debug mode.
391 MyApp->config->{static}->{debug} = 1;
393 =head1 USING WITH APACHE
395 While Static::Simple will work just fine serving files through Catalyst in
396 mod_perl, for increased performance, you may wish to have Apache handle the
397 serving of your static files. To do this, simply use a dedicated directory
398 for your static files and configure an Apache Location block for that
399 directory. This approach is recommended for production installations.
402 SetHandler default-handler
405 =head1 INTERNAL EXTENDED METHODS
407 Static::Simple extends the following steps in the Catalyst process.
409 =head2 prepare_action
411 prepare_action is used to first check if the request path is a static file.
412 If so, we skip all other prepare_action steps to improve performance.
416 dispatch takes the file found during prepare_action and writes it to the
421 finalize serves up final header information and displays any log messages.
425 setup initializes all default values.
