Routing static assets

Routing static assets

Serving a public resource in Kikaha is the same as serving any other HTTP request. Well, almost the same: it is easier! Basically, it mirrors the URI location sent as request to the web asset folder (usually configured as webapp).

By default, routing static assets is disabled once Kikaha's design is focused on micro-services APIs. To enable you can set the server.static.enable property to true on your configuration file.

server:
  static:
    enabled: true

Changing the web asset folder

The kikaha-maven-plugin is responsible for configure your web project, even if you just created an empty project. On projects created through the command line tool, and project that inherits the default kikaha-project, is possible to change the web folder by changing the property config.dir.web on your pom.xml file.

<properties>
  <config.dir.web>my/new/webapp/folder</config.dir.web>
</properties>

If you manually created (or want to manually create) a maven project, you should configure the kikaha-maven-plugin to point to the correct web folder.

<plugin>
  <groupId>io.skullabs.kikaha</groupId>
  <version>${KIKAHA-VERSION-HERE}</version>
  <artifactId>kikaha-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
  	<webresourcesPath>path/to/new/location</webresourcesPath>
  </configuration>
</plugin>
