node.js - Access to mountpath variable from inside a template using express -


is there clean, recomended way access mountpath inside template, express app can run both standalone , part of app (by means of app.use), paths pointing correct destination either way?

something like:

{{mountpath}}route/to/file

so in case app running standalone, mountpath /, , in case running submodule, mountpath /foo/

note: i'm using handlebars.

express.static middleware responsible serving static assets of express application. how works:

  • serve static content app "public" directory in application directory

    // /style.css etc

    app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

  • mount middleware @ "/static" serve static content when request path prefixed "/static"

    // /static/style.css etc.

    app.use('/static', express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

  • serve static files multiple directories, give precedence "./public" on others

    app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

    app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/files'));

    app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/uploads'));

in case can use second case i.e.; mounting files on path '/static', whatever files under folder public can accesses src='/static/filename.xyz' create folder name public sub folders css, js, images or if want css mounted on path /css :

app.use('/css',express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'module1/css')));

now can use css files in entire application :

 <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">

c++ - Why doesn't unordered_set provide an array access operator -

i'm curious why stl container unordered_set , has constant time complexity random access on average, not provide method accessing elements distance first element in container. example: t& unordered_set::operator[](size_t index) { return *(begin() + index); } accessing element "by distance" implies there meaningful way measure distance. trouble std::unordered_set is is, well, unordered . hence, there no meaningful way of explaining "some distance beginning" in non-arbitrary way. if want access distance, copy data vector: std::vector tmp(unordered.begin(), unordered.end());
