# local-web-server
|
||||
|
||||
A convenient local web server to support productive, full-stack Javascript development. Built on [lws](https://github.com/lwsjs/lws).
|
||||
The productive development web server. Built on [lws](https://github.com/lwsjs/lws).
|
||||
|
||||
**Features**
|
||||
|
||||
- Lightweight
|
||||
- http/https ([http2](https://github.com/nodejs/http2) will be added once ready)
|
||||
- Rewrite routes to local or remote resources
|
||||
- Url rewriting
|
||||
- Proxy certain routes to a remote server (e.g. an existing API). Avoids CORS pain when consuming remote services.
|
||||
- Configurable by command-line options, stored config or both
|
||||
- Efficient, predictable, entity-tag-powered conditional request handling (no need to 'Disable Cache' in DevTools, slowing page-load down)
|
||||
- Fast and lightweight. Supports most common web application styles:
|
||||
- Static site.
|
||||
- Single Page Application (client-side rendering, web service consumption).
|
||||
- Server-rendered content.
|
||||
- Configurable with sensible defaults. Configure by constructor option, command-line option, stored config or all three.
|
||||
- HTTP or HTTPS ([HTTP2](https://github.com/nodejs/http2) will be added once ready)
|
||||
- URL rewriting
|
||||
- Local rewrites for quick experimentation (e.g. from `/img/logo.svg` to `/img/new-logo.svg`)
|
||||
- Rewrite to remote resources (e.g. from `/api/*` to `https://example-api.pl/api/$1`). *Note: ignores remote server's CORS policy, which during development is typically what you want*.
|
||||
- Optimised default caching strategy. Efficient, predictable, entity-tag-powered conditional request handling (no need to 'Disable Cache' in DevTools, slowing page-load down)
|
||||
- Configurable log output, compatible with [Goaccess, Logstalgia and glTail](https://github.com/lwsjs/local-web-server/blob/master/doc/visualisation.md)
|
||||
- Configurable CORS rules. All origins allowed by default.
