Scripting Server

The workengine scripting package comes bundled with a scripting server that serves up scripts when developing locally. Simply run the following command, providing the relative path to the scripting directory you want to serve scripts from. The scripting server will automatically serve up the scripting index.json and all scripting files. Note that it runs on port 4000 by default.

npm run ss ../myscriptingproject
