Contribute

This project has been bootstrapped using nod and coded with the amazing IntelliJ IDEA.

To hack a little bit with it you can additionally run npm run auto-build-install, which transpiles es6 and installs the module globally. If you are developing on windows but want to test it on linux you can run the provided docker container.

First, build and bash into the container by running. docker-test\linux\run.cmd

Now you can play around opening and shutting down ports. I use http-server -pp 4000 . & followed by p-killa --ports 4000 --delay 5 for example.

If you want to test it on your host just run npm run test
