Local testing - http-server

http-server: a simple static HTTP server

Installation

• Running on-demand:

  • Using npx you can run the script without installing it first:
    npx http-server [path] [options]

• Globally via npm
  npm install --global http-server
  This will install http-server globally so that it may be run from the command line anywhere.

• As a dependency in your npm package:
  npm install http-server

Usage

http-server [path] [options]

[path] defaults to ./public if the folder exists, and ./ otherwise.

Now you can visit http://localhost:8080 to view your server

Note: Caching is on by default. Add -c-1 as an option to disable caching.
