# Embedded frontend
|
|
|
|
The frontend under `static/` is embedded into the executable at compile time.
|
|
No separate web root or static-file bind mount is required.
|
|
|
|
It includes URL creation and lookup, short-link metadata, copy and delete
|
|
actions, API-key administration, sorting, pagination, theme selection, and
|
|
locally hosted fonts. Relative asset URLs and the browser-derived API prefix
|
|
allow the same files to work at either a subdomain root or a nested path.
|
|
|
|
The frontend and static assets are always available. The former `production`
|
|
toggle was removed because disabling embedded assets conflicts with ushort's
|
|
self-contained deployment model. Old configuration files containing that key
|
|
remain loadable; its value is ignored.
|
|
|
|
The nginx examples apply `no-store` to the HTML entry point and `no-cache` to
|
|
static assets. Embedded static requests do not consume the API rate-limit
|
|
quota.
|
|
|
|
Automated tests compare every embedded asset with its source file byte for
|
|
byte. See [Development, testing, and releases](development.md).
