How to serve static images in NestJS
This is what I've done:
in app.module.ts
import { ServeStaticModule } from '@nestjs/serve-static/dist/serve-static.module'; import { join } from 'path'; @Module({ imports: [ ServeStaticModule.forRoot({ rootPath: join(__dirname, '..', 'public'), }), ], })Then I created "public" dir on the same level as "src", "dir" etc.
The file is available at: https://my-url/file.jpg
add this to main.tsreplace "uploads" with your directory nameapp.use('/uploads',express.static(join(process.cwd(), 'uploads')));
The idea of @pzabrocki brings me to the following minimal working repository: https://gitlab.com/hadrien-toma/nest-static-files
To play with it:
git clone https://gitlab.com/hadrien-toma/nest-static-filesyarn installyarn run startThen the my-file.json is served at http://localhost:3333/my-file.json.
