Statiq Web can locally mirror remote resources such as scripts and stylesheet links.
To enable this feature, set the MirrorResources
setting to true
(like most Statiq Web settings this key is strongly-typed via the WebKeys
class):
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Statiq.App;
using Statiq.Web;
namespace MySite
{
public class Program
{
public static async Task<int> Main(string[] args) =>
await Bootstrapper
.Factory
.CreateWeb(args)
.AddSetting(WebKeys.MirrorResources, true)
.RunAsync();
}
}
When resource mirroring is on, all <script>
and <link>
resources will be copied to the local output directory and the HTML elements will be rewritten to point to the local path. This can be especially helpful when combined with HTTP pipelining and HTTP/2 multiplexing. However, it's not appropriate for all cases. Some cases where resource mirroring will not work well include:
- Resources where the content might change.
- Resources that use relative paths to point to other resources.
To disable resource mirroring for a particular resource when the feature is turned on globally, use a data-no-mirror
attribute on the HTML element:
<script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/123456789.js" data-no-mirror></script>
