Serving static files
====================

Static files can easily be served. Suppose we have a folder named
``public`` where the static files we wish to serve are located.

.. code:: json

   {
     "endpoints": [
       {
         "route": "static/*",
         "method": "GET",
         "response": "fs:./public"
       }
     ]
   }

In the example above, we configured the route “static” to serve files
located in the ``public`` folder. Let’s say a file exists located in
``public/foobar.html``, then it can be accessed through the URL
``/static/foobar.html``.

How about spinning up quickly a static-file server without configuration
files?

.. code:: diff

    $ mock serve \
   +  --route 'static/*' \
   +  --file-server /path/to/my/public/files
