Swiftserver

Minimalistic development server for all your frontend needs.

                                                    npm i swiftserver

• create server.js file in your project root directory.
• put in require('swiftserver')(options);
• run node server This will run a development server with default settings on http://localhost:3000

Complete options:

PORT : Number (optional) = The port which the server should listen to. Defaults to 3000

fileName : String (optional) = Name of the .html file you want ot serve. Defaults to index.html

public : String (optional) = Name of the directory in which your static assets are kept. Defaults to the root directory of your project.

secure : Boolean (optional) = Set to true if you want to enable HTTPS. Defaults to false.

NOTE : Even though secure is true, your browser will still show insecure which is fine. The site will be running on https nevertheless.

Usage example:

Assuming I have the following project structure:

:file_folder: public

• :file_folder: images
  • logo.png
• :file_folder: css
  • main.css

:clipboard: home.html

To serve home.html using swiftserver(with https):

                  //server.js
                   const options = {
                      PORT : 4000,
                      fileName : "home.html",
                      public : "public",
                      secure : true
                    }
                    
                    require('swiftserver')(options);

Works with ReactJs too

In the 'public' option, put in the 'build' directory, after you run npm run build.
