Starlette also includes a `StaticFiles` class for serving a specific directory: * `StaticFiles(directory)` - Serve any files in the given `directory`. You can combine this ASGI application with Starlette's routing to provide comprehensive static file serving. ```python from starlette.routing import Router, Mount from starlette.staticfiles import StaticFiles app = Router(routes=[ Mount('/static', app=StaticFiles(directory='static')), ]) ``` Static files will respond with "404 Not found" or "405 Method not allowed" responses for requests which do not match.
