 Koa static file serving middleware, wrapper for [`koa-send`](https://github.com/koajs/send).

## Installation

```bash
$ npm install koa-static
```

## API

```js
var koa = require('koa');
var app = koa();
app.use(require('koa-static')(root, opts));
```

* `root` root directory string. nothing above this root directory can be served
* `opts` options object.

### Options

 - `maxage` Browser cache max-age in milliseconds. defaults to 0
 - `hidden` Allow transfer of hidden files. defaults to false
 - `index` Default file name, defaults to 'index.html'
 - `defer` If true, serves after `return next()`, allowing any downstream middleware to respond first.
 - `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.

## Example

```js
var serve = require('koa-static');
var koa = require('koa');
var app = koa();

// $ GET /package.json
app.use(serve('.'));

// $ GET /hello.txt
app.use(serve('test/fixtures'));

// or use absolute paths
app.use(serve(__dirname + '/test/fixtures'));

app.listen(3000);

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