server static file + caching
Hey guys,
I am serving a static folder called public and it's all working well, I can access my files, eg styles.css. Here is the code for it:
However I didn't realize that hono wasn't caching the assets in
/public by default. Is there any way to tell hono to cache that directory ?12 Replies
This does depends on the deployment solution you are using. Most of them automatically caches these assets for you
like cloudflare, vercel
Sorry I should have mentioned that in the question, I was talking about the built in browser cache.
I think browser already does it for the client, except if you have enabled
disabled cache in your network tab (usually for testing)that's why I am a bit confused as well as the browser isn't caching it. I don't have
disabled cache enabled. Caching does work as it can cache other assets. But not the one from /public/*.
Someone told me about this message, is this helpful in your case? - https://discord.com/channels/1011308539819597844/1012485912409690122/1265753791274156233
not really as I am not using cloudflare. I am just running a basic vps
what is your setup looks like and why is JS getting cached and not your HTML and CSS. Can you share a reproduction of this? I will try to figure this out tomorrow

Can you point me to the files were you are serving those files
My bad I should have explained that, sorry. if you run
bun styles:build this should generate the css file in public/styles.css. Then in my /src/index.ts I am serving the folder public statically.
if you then run the app with bun dev or bun server:dev and open up the dev tool you should see that the css file isn't being cached by the browser.Okay.

that sounds good I will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the help 🫶
