+# Static Serve
+
+A Rust library for compressing and embedding static assets in a web server using [Axum](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum). This crate provides efficient asset embedding with optional compression (`gzip` and `zstd`) and conditional requests support.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Embed static assets** at compile-time for efficient serving
+
+- **Automatic compression** with `gzip` and `zstd`
+
+- **ETag support** for conditional requests and caching
+
+- **Seamless Axum integration** with request extraction for encoding and caching headers
+
+## Installation
+
+Add the following to your `Cargo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+static-serve = "0.1"
+axum = "0.8"
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Embedding Static Assets
+
+Use the `embed_assets!` macro to create a `static_router()` function in scope which will include your static files, embedding them into your binary:
+
+```rust
+use static_serve::embed_assets;
+
+embed_assets!("assets", compress = true);
+let router = static_router();
+```
+
+This will:
+
+- Include all files from the `assets` directory
+- Compress them using `gzip` and `zstd` (if beneficial)
+- Generate a `static_router()` function to serve these assets
+
+### Conditional Requests & Caching
+
+The crate automatically handles:
+- `Accept-Encoding` header to serve compressed versions if available
+- `If-None-Match` header for ETag validation, returning `304 Not Modified` if unchanged
+
+### Required parameter
+
+- `path_to_dir` - a valid Rust identifier or `&str` of the path to the static files to be included
+
+### Optional parameters
+
+- `compress = false` - compress static files with zstd and gzip, true or false (defaults to false)
+
+- `ignore_dirs = [my_ignore_dir, other_ignore_dir]` - a bracketed list of valid Rust identifiers or `&str`s of the paths/subdirectories inside the target directory, which should be ignored and not included. (If this parameter is missing, no subdirectories will be ignored)
+
+## Example
+
+```rust
+
+use axum::{Router, Server};
+use static_serve::embed_assets;
+
+embed_assets!("public", compress = true);
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() {
+    let router = static_router();
+    Server::bind(&"0.0.0.0:3000".parse().unwrap())
+        .serve(router.into_make_service())
+        .await
+        .unwrap();
+}
+```
