Rocket Assets Fairing

rocket-assets-fairing is a Fairing for Rocket for easily serving static assets from a folder, with a nice cache policy.

Installing

Add to your Cargo.toml:

rocket-assets-fairing = "0.1"

Usage

use assets_rocket_fairing::{Asset, Assets};

#[rocket::main]
async fn main() {
   rocket::build()
       .attach(Assets::fairing())
       .mount("/assets", routes![style])
       .launch()
       .await;
}

#[get("/style.css")]
async fn style(assets: &Assets) -> Option<Asset> {
   assets.open("style.css").await.ok()
}

Configuration

This is configurable the same way as Rocket.

Either through Rocket.toml:

[default]
assets_dir = "assets"
assets_max_age = 86400

Or using environment variables:

• ROCKET_ASSETS_DIR
• ROCKET_ASSETS_MAX_AGE

lib.rs:

Easily serve static assets with configurable cache policy from Rocket.

This create adds a fairing and responder for serving static assets. You should configure an assets directory, attach the fairing, and then return an Asset on whatever route you want.

Usage

1. Add your assets to the configurable assets_dir directory (default: {rocket_root}/assets).
2. Optionally configure the cache policy using assets_max_age
3. Attach [Assets::fairing()] and return an Asset using [Assets::open()] (specifying the relative file path):

use assets_rocket_fairing::{Asset, Assets};

#[rocket::main]
async fn main() {
   rocket::build()
       .attach(Assets::fairing())
       .mount("/assets", routes![style])
       .launch()
       .await;
}

#[get("/style.css")]
async fn style(assets: &Assets) -> Option<Asset> {
   assets.open("style.css").await.ok()
}
