## Installation

```js
$ npm install koa-send
```


## Options

 - `maxage` Browser cache max-age in milliseconds. (defaults to `0`).
 - `immutable` Tell the browser the resource is immutable and can be cached indefinitely. (defaults to `false`).
 - `hidden` Allow transfer of hidden files. (defaults to `false`).
 - [`root`](#root-path) Root directory to restrict file access.
 - `index` Name of the index file to serve automatically when visiting the root location. (defaults to none).
 - `gzip` Try to serve the gzipped version of a file automatically when `gzip` is supported by a client and if the requested file with `.gz` extension exists. (defaults to `true`).
 - `brotli` Try to serve the brotli version of a file automatically when `brotli` is supported by a client and if the requested file with `.br` extension exists. (defaults to `true`).
 - `format` If not `false` (defaults to `true`), format the path to serve static file servers and not require a trailing slash for directories, so that you can do both `/directory` and `/directory/`.
 - [`setHeaders`](#setheaders) Function to set custom headers on response.
 - `extensions` Try to match extensions from passed array to search for file when no extension is sufficed in URL. First found is served. (defaults to `false`)

### Root path

  Note that `root` is required, defaults to `''` and will be resolved,
  removing the leading `/` to make the path relative and this
  path must not contain "..", protecting developers from
  concatenating user input. If you plan on serving files based on
  user input supply a `root` directory from which to serve from.

  For example to serve files from `./public`:

```js
app.use(async (ctx) => {
  await send(ctx, ctx.path, { root: __dirname + '/public' });
})
```

  To serve developer specified files:

```js
app.use(async (ctx) => {
  await send(ctx, 'path/to/my.js');
})
```

### setHeaders

The function is called as `fn(res, path, stats)`, where the arguments are:
* `res`: the response object.
* `path`: the resolved file path that is being sent.
* `stats`: the stats object of the file that is being sent.

You should only use the `setHeaders` option when you wish to edit the `Cache-Control` or `Last-Modified` headers, because doing it before is useless (it's overwritten by `send`), and doing it after is too late because the headers are already sent.

If you want to edit any other header, simply set them before calling `send`.


## Example

```js
const send = require('koa-send');
const Koa = require('koa');
const app = new Koa();

// $ GET /package.json
// $ GET /

app.use(async (ctx) => {
  if ('/' == ctx.path) return ctx.body = 'Try GET /package.json';
  await send(ctx, ctx.path);
})

app.listen(3000);
console.log('listening on port 3000');
```
