Using r.Use causes middleware to be hit on every request

[SharkFourSix]

When using the middleware as

app.Use(static.Serve())

Every request first hits the static middleware which causes errors to show up on in the logs indicating that the specified files do not exist.

Is there a better way to use the static middleware with its own middleware as well so it only gets hit when the request matches the url passed to the .Serve function?

This is my alternative to this issue 👍

func main() {
	router := gin.Default()

	router.GET("/hello", func(c *gin.Context) {
		fmt.Println("HELLO REQ")
		c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"hello": "there"})
	})
	router.NoRoute(static.Serve("/", static.LocalFile("../frontend/dist", true)))
	router.Run(":8080")
}

I tested to see if the middleware gets hit on every request and it doesn't for this one. I tested it by wrapping the middleware with a handler function and put a logger. The logger only prints when no route was found :)

Let me know what you guys think :P
