How to return an html file in bottle server?

Question

So I have a bottle web framework running but I would like to have one webpage in it.

I have already created the webpage in html and css but I'm not sure how to make bottle use it. I have it displaying just the html but the css part of it does not work.

I've tried googling around but I can't seem to find an example of this.

@get('/test')
def test():
    return static_file('index.html' , root="views")

My css files are in the same directory as the views folder.

Solution

from bottle import static_file


@route('/static/<filename>')
def server_static(filename):
    return static_file(filename, root='/path/to/your/static/files')

This is the code that the Bottle docs give for serving a static file.

I know how do to that and it returns my html and it works fine but my css doesn't work. Which is my main concern.

Yea, it was the reason I choose bottle at the beginning but I now need one webpage with my api. I don't really have the time to change the web framework.

@Ramis Is your .css file also in the same directory? Posting the code you are using to call static_file() and description of the folder hierarchy would make it easier to debug.

Thanks, using static file I figured out that I had to make a route to my css and images files. After that everything works.
