Rust Embed Rocket

This crate provides a static file server for Rocket backed by the rust-embed crate. This allows users to ship their frontend with their webserver.

!!! This crate is currently very young and naively written. Please check the code thoroughly before even thinking about using it in anything important !!!

Install

Since the crate is currently not hosted on crates.io, you need to add it to your project using git dependencies:

#Cargo.toml
#...
[dependencies]
rust-embed-rocket = {git = "https://github.com/peacememories/rust-embed-rocket"}
#...

Example

Just create a RustEmbed structure as described in their readme and use it to create an Asset struct:

use rocket;
use rust_embed::RustEmbed;
use rust_embed_rocket::Server;

#[derive(RustEmbed)]
#[folder = "examples/public/"]
struct Asset;

fn main() {
    rocket::ignite().mount("/", Server::from(Asset)).launch();
}

Configuration Options

Rank

The Rocket rank (see here) can be set by changing the rank option supplied to from_config.

Default: 0

Serve Index

It is common to want a url like /foo to serve the file /foo/index.html. This can be done by enabling the boolean serve_index in the config.

Default: false
