Not serving my public folder.

I have tried following codes but i am unable to see static files.

'use strict'

const path = require('path');
const router = require('./routes')
const Koa = require('koa')
const views = require('koa-views')
const passport = require('koa-passport')
const serve = require('koa-static')

const app = new Koa()

// Serving public assets.
app.use(serve('public'))
app.listen(8080);

My folder structure is that on root i have public folder.

public/
├── css
   └── app.css
web
├── index.js    // This contains above code. the code is complete. 

index.js  // Start script. node index.js

I have tried to provide all these paths in serve arguments

app.use(serve(__dirname+ '/../public'))  // resolves to valid path
app.use(serve('/<complete-absolute-path>/public')) // resolves to valid path.

app.use(serve(__dirname+ '/public')) // for testing only, path is incorrect.
app.use(serve('./public'))  // for testing only, path is incorrect.

Also when i added logs to check if path is resolved correctly then first two paths from above commands are valid.

but when i visit

http://localhost:8080/public/css/app.css

It won’t serve static file.

I think the issue here is that when you do app.use(serve('.')), you’re serving your whole directory, so if your files are in /public, you make a request to http://.../public/files to get them. When you use app.use(serve('./public')), that same file is now served at the web root: http://.../files. Another issue suggests using koa-mount to resolve this, so that’s what I did:

const serve = require("koa-static");
const mount = require("koa-mount");
app.use(mount("/public", serve("./public")));

Try that and see if it works for you?

app.use(mount("/public", serve("./public"))); does nothing for me.
