 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  Serves pages that contain directory listings for a given path.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) module available through the
 | 
						|
[npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/). Installation is done using the
 | 
						|
[`npm install` command](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-locally):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
$ npm install serve-index
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## API
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
var serveIndex = require('serve-index')
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### serveIndex(path, options)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Returns middlware that serves an index of the directory in the given `path`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The `path` is based off the `req.url` value, so a `req.url` of `'/some/dir`
 | 
						|
with a `path` of `'public'` will look at `'public/some/dir'`. If you are using
 | 
						|
something like `express`, you can change the URL "base" with `app.use` (see
 | 
						|
the express example).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Options
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Serve index accepts these properties in the options object.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### filter
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Apply this filter function to files. Defaults to `false`. The `filter` function
 | 
						|
is called for each file, with the signature `filter(filename, index, files, dir)`
 | 
						|
where `filename` is the name of the file, `index` is the array index, `files` is
 | 
						|
the array of files and `dir` is the absolute path the file is located (and thus,
 | 
						|
the directory the listing is for).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### hidden
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Display hidden (dot) files. Defaults to `false`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### icons
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Display icons. Defaults to `false`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### stylesheet
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Optional path to a CSS stylesheet. Defaults to a built-in stylesheet.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### template
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Optional path to an HTML template or a function that will render a HTML
 | 
						|
string. Defaults to a built-in template.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When given a string, the string is used as a file path to load and then the
 | 
						|
following tokens are replaced in templates:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  * `{directory}` with the name of the directory.
 | 
						|
  * `{files}` with the HTML of an unordered list of file links.
 | 
						|
  * `{linked-path}` with the HTML of a link to the directory.
 | 
						|
  * `{style}` with the specified stylesheet and embedded images.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When given as a function, the function is called as `template(locals, callback)`
 | 
						|
and it needs to invoke `callback(error, htmlString)`. The following are the
 | 
						|
provided locals:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  * `directory` is the directory being displayed (where `/` is the root).
 | 
						|
  * `displayIcons` is a Boolean for if icons should be rendered or not.
 | 
						|
  * `fileList` is a sorted array of files in the directory. The array contains
 | 
						|
    objects with the following properties:
 | 
						|
    - `name` is the relative name for the file.
 | 
						|
    - `stat` is a `fs.Stats` object for the file.
 | 
						|
  * `path` is the full filesystem path to `directory`.
 | 
						|
  * `style` is the default stylesheet or the contents of the `stylesheet` option.
 | 
						|
  * `viewName` is the view name provided by the `view` option.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### view
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Display mode. `tiles` and `details` are available. Defaults to `tiles`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Examples
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Serve directory indexes with vanilla node.js http server
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
var finalhandler = require('finalhandler')
 | 
						|
var http = require('http')
 | 
						|
var serveIndex = require('serve-index')
 | 
						|
var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Serve directory indexes for public/ftp folder (with icons)
 | 
						|
var index = serveIndex('public/ftp', {'icons': true})
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Serve up public/ftp folder files
 | 
						|
var serve = serveStatic('public/ftp')
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Create server
 | 
						|
var server = http.createServer(function onRequest(req, res){
 | 
						|
  var done = finalhandler(req, res)
 | 
						|
  serve(req, res, function onNext(err) {
 | 
						|
    if (err) return done(err)
 | 
						|
    index(req, res, done)
 | 
						|
  })
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Listen
 | 
						|
server.listen(3000)
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Serve directory indexes with express
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
var express    = require('express')
 | 
						|
var serveIndex = require('serve-index')
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
var app = express()
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Serve URLs like /ftp/thing as public/ftp/thing
 | 
						|
// The express.static serves the file contents
 | 
						|
// The serveIndex is this module serving the directory
 | 
						|
app.use('/ftp', express.static('public/ftp'), serveIndex('public/ftp', {'icons': true}))
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Listen
 | 
						|
app.listen(3000)
 | 
						|
```
