Configure Static Files

Static files in Gin is fairly straight forward.

Serve a folder

Assuming your folder structure looks like this

func main() {
	router := gin.Default()

    // First argument is the GET Route prefix for static files
	router.Static("/assets", "./public")

	router.Run(":8080")
}

Visit http://localhost:8080/assets/file.png on a browser to verify.

Serve a single file

Here is how to serve only a single file in Gin

router.StaticFile("/favicon.svg", "./public/favicon.svg")

Visit http://localhost:8080/favicon.svg on a browser to verify. or you can curl it :)

Advanced ( use custom file systems )

router.StaticFS("/more_static", http.Dir("filesystem"))
