Note that static assets are declared in the `Shuttle.toml` file. You can clone the example below by running the following (you'll need `shuttle` CLI installed): ```bash theme={null} shuttle init --from shuttle-hq/shuttle-examples --subfolder actix-web/static-files ``` ## Code ```rust src/main.rs theme={null} use actix_files::Files; use actix_web::web::ServiceConfig; use shuttle_actix_web::ShuttleActixWeb; #[shuttle_runtime::main] async fn main() -> ShuttleActixWeb { let config = move |cfg: &mut ServiceConfig| { cfg.service(Files::new("/", "assets")); }; Ok(config.into()) } ``` ```html assets/index.html theme={null} Static Files

This is an example of serving static files with Actix Web and Shuttle.

``` ```toml Cargo.toml theme={null} [package] name = "static-files" version = "0.1.0" edition = "2021" [dependencies] actix-files = "0.6.2" actix-web = "4.3.1" shuttle-actix-web = "0.57.0" shuttle-runtime = "0.57.0" tokio = "1.26.0" ``` ```toml Shuttle.toml theme={null} [build] assets = [ "assets/*", ] ``` ## Usage After you clone the example, launch it locally by using `shuttle run` then visit the home route at `http://localhost:8000` - you should see a homepage that shows our included HTML file. You can extend this example by adding more routes that serve other files. ***
