## API
Review carefully the provided examples and the working [tests](./test.js).

### [koaBetterServe](src/index.js#L33)

Serving `dir` of files and folders, when request
url (`ctx.url`) match to `pathname`. All behind
the scenes is just using [koa-send][].
**Hint:** use [koa-convert][] to use it for [koa][] v1.

**Params**

* `root` **{String|Buffer}**: folder to serve
* `pathname` **{String|RegExp}**: path to match, can be regex
* `options` **{Object}**: optional, passed directly to [koa-send][]
* `returns` **{Function}**

**Example**

```jsx
const serve = require('koa-better-serve')
const Koa = require('koa')
const app = new Koa()

app.use(serve('./uploads/images', '/images'))
app.listen(4290)
```
