func makeFileMiddleware(publicDirectory: String? = nil, defaultFile: String? = nil, directoryAction: FileMiddleware.DirectoryAction = .none, advancedETagComparison: Bool = false, cachePolicy: FileMiddleware.CachePolicy = .browserDefault) -> FileMiddleware

Parameters

publicDirectory: The directory to serve files from. Defaults to directoryConfiguration.publicDirectory.
defaultFile: The default file to serve for directory requests. A leading / makes it relative to the public directory root.

advancedETagComparison: Whether to generate and cache content hashes instead of using the file’s modification date and size.
cachePolicy: The browser cache policy to apply to served files.

Discussion

app.middleware.use(app.makeFileMiddleware())

The cache capacity is configured by ServerConfiguration.eTagHashCacheCapacity when the application is created.
