strongloop loopback how do I serve-static with a route?

Question

I want to do something like

// server.js
app.use('/client', loopback.static(__dirname + '/../client'))

using middleware.json, but the example only works from the root

"files": {
  "loopback#static": {
    "params": "$!../client"
  }
},

Do you mean like `yourdomain.com/custom-route/asset.jpg`? You want to add a route in front of the static assets? — superkhau, Feb 20 '15 at 22:04
yes. app.use() seems to work fine, but I'm trying to understand how to use middleware.json fully — michael, Feb 22 '15 at 09:44

You have to use paths property, i.e.

"files": {
  "loopback#static": {
    "paths": "/client",
    "params": "$!../client"
  }
},

The detail is here.

I created a new file boot/routes.js

var path    = require("path");

module.exports = function(app) {
  app.get('/ping', function(req, res) {
     res.sendFile(pt('client/index.html'));
   });
};

function pt(relative) {
  return path.resolve(__dirname, '../..', relative);
}

Did you try?

"files": {
  "loopback#static": {
    "params": "$!../../client"
  }
}
