NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::Alias - serve static files from aliased paths

SYNOPSIS

    # Mojolicious
    $self->plugin('alias', { '/images' => '/foo/bar/dir/images',
                             '/css' => '/here/docs/html/css' } );

    # Mojolicious::Lite
    plugin alias => { '/people/fry/photos' => '/data/foo/frang' };

    # statics embedded in __DATA__
    plugin alias => { '/people' => {classes => ['main']} };

    # multiple paths also possible
    plugin alias => { '/people/leela/photos' =>
        { paths => [
                     '/data/foo/zoop',
                     '/data/bar/public'
                   ] } };

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious::Plugin::Alias lets you map specific routes to collections of static files. While by default a Mojolicious app will serve static files located in any directory in the app-static->paths> array, Mojolicious::Plugin::Alias will set up a seperate Mojolicious::Static object to serve files according to the specified prefix in the URL path.

When developing with the stand-alone webserver, this module allows you to mimic server paths that might be used in your templates.

CONFIGURATION

When installing the plugin, pass a reference to a hash of aliases (server paths). The keys of the hash are URL path prefixes and must start with a '/' ( leading slash). The values of the hash can be either directory paths (a single string) or hash references that will initialize Mojolicious::Static objects - they must have either paths or classes keys, with array reference values.
