As well as the `FileResponse` class, Starlette also includes ASGI applications for serving a specific file or directory: * `StaticFile(path)` - Serve a single file, given by `path`. * `StaticFiles(directory)` - Serve any files in the given `directory`. You can combine these ASGI applications with Starlette's routing to provide comprehensive static file serving. ```python from starlette.routing import Router, Path, PathPrefix from starlette.staticfiles import StaticFile, StaticFiles app = Router(routes=[ Path('/', app=StaticFile(path='index.html')), PathPrefix('/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.
