How to configure the Plug.Static without Phoenix

Question

I am trying to figure out how to configure Plug.Static without any other framework (Phoenix, Sugar, etc); just Cowboy, Plug and Elixir. I just don\'t know how t

Answer 1

Take a look at Plug.Router docs for how :match and :dispatch works. :match will try to find a matching route and :dispatch is going to invoke it. This means Plug.Static in your setup will only be invoked if you have a matching route in your router, which doesn't make sense. You want plug Plug.Static before everything. Remember plugs are just functions that are invoked in the order they are declared.

Other than that, your Plug.Static setup seems ok. Your current configuration will serve assets at "/pub", meaning "/pub/index.html" will look for "priv/static/index.html" in your app. More info here: http://hexdocs.pm/plug/Plug.Static.html
