This GitHub action creates a single-file server that:

* runs anywhere (see [jart/cosmopolitan](https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan))

* serves static files (with optional fallback)

* is extensible through an extensive [scripting interface](https://redbean.dev/#lua)

## Usage

```yaml

- uses: TimonLukas/action-static-redbean@v1

  with:

    # specifies version to be fetched from redbean.dev

    version: "latest"

    # Location of the finished executable

    executable-name: "redbean.com"

    # Location of static files to include

    input: "dist"

    # Fallback file (for history API-based routing), `false` to disable

    fallback: "index.html"

    # On launch, open the users preferred browser pointing to this path, `false` to disable

    launch: "/"

    # Cache redbean executable instead of fetching every time, `false` to disable

    cache: true

# Example: static server for `./build/*` without fallback using redbean version x.y.z

- uses: TimonLukas/action-static-redbean@v1

  with:

    version: "x.y.z"

    input: "build"

    fallback: false

- run: mv ./redbean.com $FOO

```

## Extending behavior

Generally, anything beyond serving files statically can be approached using the LUA api. The fallback option itself is actually implemented as:

```lua

function OnHttpRequest()

    if not RoutePath() then

        ServeAsset('$FALLBACK')

    end

end

```

To add any behavior, add `.init.lua` with your own content into your `input` directory.

Depending on your project it might be worth to look into frameworks for redbean like [`fullmoon`](https://github.com/pkulchenko/fullmoon).
