Static Files - StaticFiles
You can use the StaticFiles
class to serve static files, like JavaScript, CSS, images, etc.
Read more about it in the FastAPI docs for Static Files.
You can import it directly from fastapi.staticfiles
:
from fastapi.staticfiles import StaticFiles
fastapi.staticfiles.StaticFiles
StaticFiles(
*,
directory=None,
packages=None,
html=False,
check_dir=True,
follow_symlink=False
)
