Static Apps

You can also make static HTML/CSS/JS apps without Python. These can be updated and will reflect changes on the fly without the need for live reloading.

The main file in a static app is index.html. If you want to handle 404 Not Found errors you can add a 404.html file. Most of the heavy lifting is done by Starlette's StaticFiles middleware.

As Fishweb looks for ASGI apps by default, static apps need a config file with app_type set to static.
