How can you use multiple directories for static files in an aspnet core app?

Question

By default, the wwwroot directory can host static files. However, in some scenarios, it might be ideal to have two directories for static files. (For example, having webpack dump a build into one gitignored directory, and keeping some image files, favicon and such in a not-gitignored directory). Technically, this could be achieved by having two folders within the wwwroot, but it might organizationally preferable to have these folders at the root level. Is there a way to configure an aspnet core app to use two separate directories for static files?

Answer 1

Just register UseStaticFiles twice:

app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions
{
    FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(
        Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "static"))
});

Now files will be found from wwwroot and static folders.
