keywords: [JustAPI, static files, assets, mount, CSS, JavaScript]

Basic Static Files

Mount a directory to serve static files:

from justapi import JustAPIApp

app = JustAPIApp()

app.mount("/static", directory="static", name="static")

This serves files from the static/ directory at /static/. For example, static/style.css is accessible at /static/style.css.

Custom Mount Point

# Serve at /assets/*
app.mount("/assets", directory="public/assets", name="assets")

Multiple Static Directories

app.mount("/css", directory="static/css", name="css")
app.mount("/js", directory="static/js", name="js")
app.mount("/images", directory="static/images", name="images")

Mounting a Sub-application

JustAPI supports mounting sub-applications (like Starlette or ASGI apps) at a path:

from justapi import JustAPIApp

app = JustAPIApp()

# Mount a sub-application
from starlette.applications import Starlette
sub_app = Starlette()
app.mount("/api/v2", sub_app, name="v2")
