Setting up two different static directories in node.js Express framework

Question

Is it possible? I would like to set up two different directories to serve static files. Let\'s say /public and /mnt

Answer 1

You can also "merge" directories into a single visible directory

Directory Structure

• /static
• /alternate_static

Code

app.use("/static", express.static(__dirname + "/static"));
app.use("/static", express.static(__dirname + "/alternate_static"));

Both static and alternate_static will be served as if they were in the same directory. Watch out for filename clobbers, though.
