Bukdu, how to display favicon.ico

rbontekoe · January 28, 2021, 2:01pm

I have built a simple website with Bukdu. It works fine, except that it gives a 404 error message because it does not find favicon.ico. favicon.ico is stored in the base directory.

Bukdu Listening on 0.0.0.0:8004
INFO: GET     WebController       index           200 /
INFO: GET     MissingController   not_found       404 /favicon.ico

I am running the application from a notebook. The routes are:

routes() do
  get("/", WebController, index) # the index function is defined in the file functions.jl
  get("/agingreport", WebController, aging_report)
  get("/gl", WebController, gl)
end;

Tried to define an extra route but was not successful. How could I solve this?

you could plug the Static plugin.

plug(::Type{Static}; at::String, from::String, only::Union{Vector{String},Nothing}=nothing, indexfile="index.html")

see some examples:

github.com

wookay/Bukdu.jl/blob/master/test/bukdu/plugs/static.jl

module test_bukdu_plugs_static

using Test
using Bukdu

routes(:a) do
    plug(Plug.Static, at="/hello", from=normpath(@__DIR__, "."))
end
result = Router.call(get, "/hello/static.jl")
@test startswith(String(result.resp.body), "module test_bukdu_plugs_static")
Routing.reset!()

routes(:b) do
    plug(Plug.Static, at="/", from=normpath(@__DIR__, "."))
end
result = Router.call(get, "/static.jl")
@test startswith(String(result.resp.body), "module test_bukdu_plugs_static")
Routing.reset!()

routes(:c) do

routes(:api) do
              resources("/customers", CustomerController)
          end
          
          
routes(:wasm) do
              get("/wasm", WasmController, index)
              get("/hello.js", WasmController, hello_js)
              get("/hello.wast", WasmController, hello_wast)
              plug(Plug.Static, at="/", from=normpath(@__DIR__, "public"))
          end
          
          
routes(:front) do
              get("/", WelcomeController, index)
          end
          
          
if haskey(ENV, "ON_HEROKU")
              Bukdu.start(parse(Int, ENV["PORT"]); host=ip"0.0.0.0")
          else
              Bukdu.start(8080)

@wookyoung, thank you. It works great.

I created a folder public with favicon.ico and changed the routes as follows:

routes() do
  get("/", WebController, index)
  get("/agingreport", WebController, aging_report)
  get("/gl", WebController, gl)
  plug(Plug.Static, at="/", from=normpath(@__DIR__, "public"))
end

Output:

Bukdu Listening on 0.0.0.0:8000
INFO: GET     WebController       index           200 /
INFO: GET     StaticController    readfile        200 /favicon.ico
INFO: GET     WebController       aging_report    200 /agingreport
