serving static files with restify (node.js)

Question

I have the following code:

app.js

[...]  server.get(/\/docs\/public\/?.*/, restify.serveStatic({   directory: './public' }));  server.listen(1337, function() {   console.log('%s listening at %s', server.name, server.url); }); 

And I have the following file structure

app.js public/   index.html 

So I try browsing:

http://localhost:1337/docs/public/index.html 

and I get

{   code: "ResourceNotFound",   message: "/docs/public/index.html" } 

I tried with several variations, but none of them seemed to work.

I'm sure it should be something pretty obvious I'm missing

Answer 1

restify will use the directory option as a prefix for the entire route path. In your case, it will look for ./public/docs/public/index.html.
