## Config
| Property | Type | Description | Default |
|:-----------|:------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:-----------------------|
| Next | `func(fiber.Ctx) bool` | Next defines a function to skip this middleware when returned true. | `nil` |
| FS | `fs.FS` | FS is the file system to serve the static files from.<br /><br />You can use interfaces compatible with fs.FS like embed.FS, os.DirFS etc. | `nil` |
| Compress | `bool` | When set to true, the server tries minimizing CPU usage by caching compressed files. The middleware will compress the response using `gzip`, `brotli`, or `zstd` compression depending on the [Accept-Encoding](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept-Encoding) header. <br /><br />This works differently than the github.com/gofiber/compression middleware. | `false` |
| ByteRange | `bool` | When set to true, enables byte range requests. | `false` |
| Browse | `bool` | When set to true, enables directory browsing. | `false` |
| Download | `bool` | When set to true, enables direct download. | `false` |
| IndexNames | `[]string` | The names of the index files for serving a directory. | `[]string{"index.html"}` |
| CacheDuration | `time.Duration` | Expiration duration for inactive file handlers.<br /><br />Use a negative time.Duration to disable it. | `10 * time.Second` |
| MaxAge | `int` | The value for the Cache-Control HTTP-header that is set on the file response. MaxAge is defined in seconds. | `0` |
| ModifyResponse | `fiber.Handler` | ModifyResponse defines a function that allows you to alter the response. | `nil` |
| NotFoundHandler | `fiber.Handler` | NotFoundHandler defines a function to handle when the path is not found. | `nil` |
:::info
You can set `CacheDuration` config property to `-1` to disable caching.
:::
## Default Config
```go
var ConfigDefault = Config{
Index: []string{"index.html"},
CacheDuration: 10 * time.Second,
}
```
