simple static file server written in Rust based on axum framework
I'm learning Rust and axum.
My thought is simple.
axum has a static-file-server example, which only serve static files under a directory and does not list the directory index.
it also has a templates example which uses askama as template engine to parse a Jinja2 like template.
I thought I could simply combine the code of the two and my job is done -_-
But things didn't go in the way I thought
long time ago, I used to start a static http server like this (using the python3 built-in http server) :
python3 -m http.server -d .since I'm learning Rust, and I found an interesting web framework that is Axum, I want to use Axum to implement a simple static server mainly for studying purposes.
the python one support some command line flags:
❯ python3 -m http.server -h
usage: server.py [-h] [--cgi] [--bind ADDRESS] [--directory DIRECTORY] [port]
positional arguments:
port Specify alternate port [default: 8000]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--cgi Run as CGI Server
--bind ADDRESS, -b ADDRESS
Specify alternate bind address [default: all interfaces]
--directory DIRECTORY, -d DIRECTORY
Specify alternative directory [default:current directory]so does this one:
❯ static-server -h
