Answer 1

To serve static files using bottle you'll need to use the provided static_file function and add a few additional routes. The following routes direct the static file requests and ensure that only files with the correct file extension are accessed.

from bottle import get, static_file

# Static Routes
@get("/static/css/")
def css(filepath):
    return static_file(filepath, root="static/css")

@get("/static/font/")
def font(filepath):
    return static_file(filepath, root="static/font")

@get("/static/img/")
def img(filepath):
    return static_file(filepath, root="static/img")

@get("/static/js/")
def js(filepath):
    return static_file(filepath, root="static/js")

Now in your html, you can reference a file like so:

Directory layout:

`--static
|  `--css
|  `--fonts
|  `--img
|  `--js
