serveDirectory method

Future<void> serveDirectory(EngineContext ctx, String dirPath, [ String parent = '' ])

Serves a directory over HTTP.

The request parameter specifies the HTTP request. The dirPath parameter specifies the directory to serve.

Implementation

Future<void> serveDirectory(
  EngineContext ctx,
  String dirPath, [
  String parent = '',
]) async {
  final pathContext = fileSystem.path;
  final baseDir = pathContext.isAbsolute(dirPath)
      ? dirPath
      : pathContext.join(rootPath, dirPath);
  // First try to serve index.html if it exists
  final indexPath = pathContext.join(baseDir, 'index.html');

  try {
    final indexFileStat = await fileSystem.stat(indexPath);
    if (indexFileStat.type == FileSystemEntityType.file) {
      await _serveFile(ctx, indexPath, indexFileStat);
      return;
    }
  } catch (_) {
    // No index.html, continue to directory listing check
  }

  // Check if directory listing is allowed
  if (!allowDirectoryListing) {
    ctx.abortWithStatus(
      HttpStatus.notFound,
      ctx.method == 'HEAD' ? '' : 'Not Found',
    );
    return;
  }

  await _listDirectory(ctx, dirPath, parent);
}
