http/ws development server as part of basisjs-tools

server

server command launch a server instance:

> basis server

By default current folder becomes server root (you can change it using --base option). You also can set listening port with --port option on command run or define it in config (useful when launch several servers). By default server listen port 8000.

> basis server -p 8123
Server run at http://localhost:8123

Server caches files you access to and inject it into html page (via window.__resources__). This approach speeds up page loading with many files.

Also it watches for files changes and send new file content to client if neccessary (using socket.io and basis.js infrastructure). When you use this server you usually don't need to refresh page when you change .tmpl, .css, .json or .l10n files.
