Question

I’m working on a project where there is a user uploaded collection of styles, scripts and images and then their is my app’s collection of styles, scripts and images. They’re two different places on my server.

Is there anyway I can setup Express in Node.js so it can more than one static folder? I’m wanting it to serve both – obviously, I’d make sure of directory and file name conflicts. Is that even possible?

The way I have for one static folder at this moment is like this:

this.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

…but I’m wanting to directories for static files.

Or is there totally different another way I could achieve this?

Thanks, James

Answer 1

this.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public1'));
this.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public2'));

The first one will have priority with regards to filenames.
