Component Server

Serve custom components from your local machine.

This module is mainly for development purposes, and will become less useful once component(1) supports lookup paths.

Component Server is similar to component/server but removes the need to nest components under a namespace directory or master 'branch' directory.

Installation

$ npm install -g component-server

Instructions

Create a component in components.local:

	$ mkdir component.local
	$ cd component.local
	$ component create my-component  

Add local component server to your component.json remotes, and depend on your component using the local namespace.

{
    ...
  "remotes": ["http://localhost:3939"],
  "dependencies": {
    "local/my-component": "*"
  }
    ...
}

Run component-server in your project directory:

	$ component-server
	serving components from components.local on port 3939

Run component installation fro your project (in a new terminal)

	$ component install

 install : local/my-component@master
   fetch : local/my-component:index.js
complete : local/my-component

Your local component is now installed and ready to be built!
