How to use

This is how to serve files normally in httprouter

router := httprouter.New()
// with the httprouter, this is how you serve static contents normally
router.ServeFiles("/rsc/static/*filepath", http.Dir("resource/"))

With go-gzip

import (
  goGzip "github.com/albertsundjaja/go-gzip"
)

func main() {
  router := httprouter.New()

  // create new handler
  staticHandler := goGzip.CreateNew()
  // this is the location of the parent folder of the resources
  staticHandler.ResourceFolder = "resource"
  // this will create and rewrite a .gzip version of all .css and .js
  // CAUTION: if you skip this, then the original version will be served
  staticHandler.ProcessResourceFolder()

  router.GET("/rsc/static/*filepath", staticHandler.StaticFilesHandler)
}
