jarle Stream a file as an HTTP Response
This snippet reads a file from disk using Bun.file(). This returns a BunFile instance, which can be passed directly into the new Response constructor.
const path = "/path/to/file.txt";
const file = Bun.file(path);
const resp = new Response(file);
The Content-Type is read from the file and automatically set on the Response.
new Response(Bun.file("./package.json")).headers.get("Content-Type");
// => application/json;charset=utf-8
new Response(Bun.file("./test.txt")).headers.get("Content-Type");
// => text/plain;charset=utf-8
new Response(Bun.file("./index.tsx")).headers.get("Content-Type");
// => text/javascript;charset=utf-8
new Response(Bun.file("./img.png")).headers.get("Content-Type");
// => image/png
Putting it all together with Bun.serve().
// static file server
Bun.serve({
async fetch(req) {
const path = new URL(req.url).pathname;
const file = Bun.file(path);
return new Response(file);
},
});
