## Synopsis
This package installs the `ws` command-line tool (take a look at the [usage guide](https://github.com/lwsjs/local-web-server/wiki/CLI-usage)). The most simple use case is to run `ws` without any arguments - this will **host the current directory as a static web site**.

```
Another common use case is to **proxy certain requests to remote servers** (e.g. you'd like to use data from a different environment). For example, the following command would proxy `http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/users/1` to `https://internal-service.local/api/users/1`:
