local-web-server
|
|
================
|
|
Fires up a simple, static web server on a given port. A pure Javascript (and more reliable) alternative to `$ python -mSimpleHTTPServer 8000`.
|
|
|
|
Use for local web development or file sharing (directory browsing enabled). Plays well with Google Chrome Workspaces.
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
-------
|
|
Install [Node.js](http://nodejs.org), then run
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ npm install -g local-web-server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*Linux/Mac users may need to run the above with `sudo`*
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
```
|
|
ws [--directory|-d <directory>] [--port|-p <port>] [--log-format|-f dev|default|short|tiny]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From the folder you wish to serve, run:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ ws
|
|
serving at http://localhost:8000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you wish to serve a different directory, run:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ ws -d ~/mysite/
|
|
serving /Users/Lloyd/mysite at http://localhost:8000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you wish to override the default port (8000), use `--port` or `-p`:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ ws --port 9000
|
|
serving at http://localhost:9000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use a built-in or custom [Connect logger format](http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/logger.html) with `--log-format`:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ ws --log-format short
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use with Logstalgia
|
|
-------------------
|
|
The "default" log-format is compatible with [logstalgia](http://code.google.com/p/logstalgia/).
|
|
|
|
If you wrote your log output to disk, like so:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ ws --log-format default > web.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then you could visualise in logstalgia with:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ logstalgia web.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, pipe directly from ws into logstalgia for real-time visualisation:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ ws --log-format default | logstalgia -
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use with glTail
|
|
---------------
|
|
To use with [glTail](http://www.fudgie.org), write your log to disk using the "default" format:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ ws -f default > web.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then specify this file in your glTail config:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
servers:
|
|
dev:
|
|
host: localhost
|
|
source: local
|
|
files: /Users/Lloyd/Documents/MySite/web.log
|
|
parser: apache
|
|
color: 0.2, 0.2, 1.0, 1.0
|
|
```
