web-server

Installation

Use the npm to install web-server.

Overview

This is a simple and light weight npm package that is of great help to developers. It automatically reloads the webpage on watching any change in the working directory. It also watches for change in the subdirectories also.

Usage

Navigate to your working directory and type web-server

> web-server (# On windows)
$ web-server (# On Linux & macOS)
found web-server.json
Sever started on port 3000

By default it serves the index.html file on the root route localhost:3000/. If you want to serve another file on home route edit web-server.json's "/" key to the file name

$ web-server (# On Linux & macOS) [hit enter]
found web-server.json
Sever started on port 3000
