LocalServer - Static HTTP Server Utility

Version: 0.1.3

License: MIT

Install: npm install -g localserver

What is this?

This is a command line utility that will start a HTTP server to serve static files from current directory.

I wrote it so that I would have an easy to use static HTTP server when developing client-side code only. Obviously, it's not meant for production use.

You don't need to restart the server every time you make a file change, as it reads the requested files with each request.

Note: I am aware I could have implemented this using connect's full featured static server instead, but I didn't. Why? For fun, of course!
