🗺️ Static Route Mapping (Optional)

Normally, all publicly served files should be in your public folder. However, if you need to expose a specific file from somewhere else on your server, you can use the optional route object in your odac.json. This creates a direct mapping from a URL path to that file.

"route": {
  "/assets/js/odac.js": "${odac}/framework/web/odac.js",
  "/css/main.css": "/path/to/your/project/assets/css/main.css"
}

When a user visits a URL that matches a key in the route object, Odac will serve the corresponding file from your filesystem.

Using the ${odac} Variable

The special variable ${odac} is a shortcut that points to the root directory where Odac is installed. This is helpful for linking to files that are part of the framework itself.

Absolute Paths

For your own project files, you should provide a full, absolute path to the file on your server.
