ExposeFS

Let's RESTify your filesystem

Usage

./bin/expose [path] [port] will serve path (~ by default) at port (8000 by default).

As exposefs has been built as an express middleware, you can use it to your existing express application.

var express = require('express');
var app = express();

var exposefs = require('exposefs');

app.use('/fs', exposefs({basepath: "/home/"}));

/* your routing definition */

app.listen(8000)

The code above will serve your home directory under /fs url.
