# local-web-server

The modular web server for productive full-stack development.

Use this tool to:

* Build a fast, modern web application using any tech, framework or architecture.
* Prototype back-end services (RESTful HTTP API, Microservice, websocket server etc.)

Essentially, local-web-server is the `lws` command-line web server with a middleware stack built in offering the following features:

* Static file serving
* Single Page Application support
* Response mocking 
* Configurable access log
* URL Rewriting, to local or remote destinations 
* Request body parsing
* Route blacklisting
* HTTP Conditional Request support (cacheing)
* MIME-type customisation
* Gzip response compression
* Directory listing support

## Synopsis

This package installs the `ws` command-line tool. The most simple use case is to run `ws` without any arguments - this will host the current directory as a static web site.

```sh
$ ws
Serving at http://mbp.local:8000, http://127.0.0.1:8000, http://192.168.0.100:8000
```

Opening any of the listed URLs in your browser will open your home page (`index.html` by default) if one exists, else show a directory listing.



## Advanced Usage

Being modular and extensible, features can be added or removed from `ws` in the shape of Middleware, ServerFactory or View modules. [See the wiki for full documentation and tutorials](https://github.com/lwsjs/local-web-server/wiki).

## Install

Requires node v7.6 or higher. Install the [previous release](https://github.com/lwsjs/local-web-server/tree/v1.x) for node >= v4.0.0.

```sh
$ npm install -g local-web-server@next
```
