local-web-server

The modular web server for productive full-stack development.

Use this tool to:

• Build a static website, dynamic website with server-side rendering, Single Page Application with client-side rendering, Progressive Web App etc. - any web application you like.
• Prototype a REST API, Microservice, websocket server or any other server-side application.

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
