This documentation is a work in progress

local-web-server

The modular development web server for productive front-end and full-stack engineers. Use this tool to:

Help build a web application using any architecture (static website, Single Page Application with client-side rendering, dynamic app with server-side rendering, Progressive Web App etc.)
Prototype a web service (REST API, microservice, websocket server application etc)

Agnostic which front-end framework (React, Polymer, Angular etc) you use, if any.

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.

$ 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.

Install

Requires node v7.6 or higher. Install the previous release for node >= v4.0.0.

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