Favicon

Favicon middleware for Fiber that ignores favicon requests or caches a provided icon in memory to improve performance by skipping disk access. User agents request favicon.ico frequently and indiscriminately, so you may wish to exclude these requests from your logs by using this middleware before your logger middleware.

note

This middleware is exclusively for serving the default, implicit favicon, which is GET /favicon.ico or custom favicon URL.

Signatures

func New(config ...Config) fiber.Handler

Examples

Import the middleware package that is part of the Fiber web framework

import (
  "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
  "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3/middleware/favicon"
)

After you initiate your Fiber app, you can use the following possibilities:

// Initialize default config
app.Use(favicon.New())

// Or extend your config for customization
app.Use(favicon.New(favicon.Config{
    File: "./favicon.ico",
    URL: "/favicon.ico",
}))
