This recipe will help you to setup a static file handler in your application.

{% hint style="warning" %}
First you need an amber project generated with [Amber CLI](../guides/create-new-app.md) or [from scratch](from-scratch.md).

{% code-tabs-item title="config/application.cr" %}
```ruby
Amber::Server.configure do |app|
  # All static content will run these transformations
  pipeline :static do
    plug Amber::Pipe::PoweredByAmber.new
    plug Amber::Pipe::Error.new
    plug Amber::Pipe::Static.new("./public")
  end

  routes :static do
    get "/*", Amber::Controller::Static, :index
  end
end
```
{% endcode-tabs-item %}
{% endcode-tabs %}

Also see [pipelines](../guides/routing/pipelines.md).
