Multiple folders of static content?

[viridia]

I need to mount two different folders of static content. The first folder contains the standard 'public' web stuff - favicons, manifest.json and so on.

The second folder contains many gigabytes of game data - audio files, 3d model files (gltf), textures and so on.

Copying the game data into the 'public' folder is expensive and slow because the files are so large. Also, I have more than one vite app that uses the same data (the game and the editor), and I don't want to have to sync multiple copies of the game data. I would rather have the game data live in one place.

It would be much easier if there was a way that I could simply 'mount' or 'alias' the second static folder, either as a completely separate url path or as a sub-folder of the regular 'public' folder. However, I've gone through the Vite documentation a bunch of times and there doesn't seem to be a way to do this.

A symlink would do the job, but won't work on non-unix systems.

I'm guessing your best option is to use #5104 which is in 2.6 beta with the option for build and putting your assets in a cdn

I'm more concerned with making this work in local development. For deployment I could just write mapping rules for the host server.

I wrote a plugin to support this problem, it works in development environment and automatically copies folders when running build!!

Is the second part of your sentence now out of date, and it does copy it over during build? (Based on the current readme.)
