Pow config.ru for serving static files outside of the public directory?

Question

How do you setup a config.ru file to have Pow serve html/css/js files outside of the public directory? Let's say I wanted to serve them out of the html folder instead.

Answer 1

You could use TryStatic from rack-contrib:

require 'rack/contrib/try_static'

use Rack::TryStatic,
  :root => "html",
  :urls => %w[/]

You might want to add if ENV['RACK_ENV'] == 'development' if you only want this during development (e.g. if your web server is configured to serve from html/) .
