# Static Resources (Clojure Only)
Static resources can be served using `reitit.ring/create-resource-handler`. It takes optionally an options map and returns a ring handler to serve files from Classpath.
There are two options to serve the files.
## Internal routes
This is good option if static files can be from non-conflicting paths, e.g. `"/assets/*"`.
```clj
(require '[reitit.ring :as ring])
(ring/ring-handler
(ring/router
[["/ping" (constantly {:status 200, :body "pong"})]
["/assets/*" (ring/create-resource-handler)]])
(ring/create-default-handler))
```
To serve static files with conflicting routes, e.g. `"/*"`, one needs to disable the conflict resolution:
```clj
(require '[reitit.ring :as ring])
(ring/ring-handler
(ring/router
[["/ping" (constantly {:status 200, :body "pong"})]
["/*" (ring/create-resource-handler)]]
{:conflicts (constantly nil)})
(ring/create-default-handler))
```
## External routes
A better way to serve files from conflicting paths, e.g. `"/*"`, is to serve them from the default-handler. One can compose multiple default locations using `ring-handler`. This way, they are only served if none of the actual routes have matched.
```clj
(ring/ring-handler
(ring/router
["/ping" (constantly {:status 200, :body "pong"})])
(ring/routes
(ring/create-resource-handler {:path "/"})
(ring/create-default-handler)))
```
## Configuration
`reitit.ring/create-resource-handler` takes optionally an options map to configure how the files are being served.
| key | description |
| -----------------|-------------|
| :parameter | optional name of the wildcard parameter, defaults to unnamed keyword `:`
| :root | optional resource root, defaults to `\"public\"`
| :path | optional path to mount the handler to. Works only if mounted outside of a router.
| :loader | optional class loader to resolve the resources
| :index-files | optional vector of index-files to look in a resource directory, defaults to `[\"index.html\"]`
| :not-found-handler | optional handler function to use if the requested resource is missing (404 Not Found)
### TODO
* support for things like `:cache`, `:etag`, `:last-modified?`, and `:gzip`
* support for ClojureScript
* serve from file-system
