steal-server formarly DIREKTSPEED Server
zero-configuration web server with built in:
- pre-processing
- Ssr
- NodeJS Project
can be used with DIREKTSPEED Server as Modules
What is DIREKTSPEED Server
DIREKTSPEED Server is a Server and Application Delivery Controler that also serves doT Jade, Markdown, EJS, Less, Stylus, Sass, and CoffeeScript as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without any configuration. It supports the beloved layout/partial paradigm and it has flexible metadata and global objects for traversing the file system and injecting custom data into templates. Optionally, steal-server can also compile your project down to static assets for hosting behind any valid HTTP server.
Why?
Development got Hard this Days if you want to stay up with current Technology. I wanted a Way to Develop Faster and Better then Ever Befor thats why i created this it enables us to Setup fast a Server with all needed Things and Focus more on the Application code.
Pre-compilers are becoming extremely powerful and shipping front-ends as static assets has many upsides. It's simple, it's easy to maintain, it's low risk, easy to scale, and requires low cognitive overhead. I wanted a lightweight web server that was powerful enough for me to abandon web frameworks for dead simple front-end publishing.
Features
- easy installation, easy to use
- fast and lightweight
- robust (clean urls, intelligent path redirects)
- built in pre-processing
- first-class layout and partial support
- built in LRU caching in production mode
- can export assets to HTML/CSS/JS
- does not require a build steps or grunt task
- fun to use
- Many more like image/audio/video preprocessing.
- Easy Run NodeJS Projects and Manage the Process.
- Extensiv Local and Remote Debuging and Logging

Installation
sudo npm install -g steal-server
Quick Start
Creating a new steal-prerender application is a breeze...
prerender add myproj
prerender server myproj
Your DIREKTSPEED Server application is now running at http://localhost:9000
Documentation
DIREKTSPEED Server - Module PreRender can be used as a library or as a command line utility.
CLI Usage
Usage: prerender [command] [options]
Commands:
init [path] initalize new steal-srv-prerender application (defaults to current directory)
server [path] [options] start steal-srv-prerender server
compile [path] [options] compile project to static assets
multihost [path] [options] start steal-srv-prerender server to host directory of steal-srv-prerender apps
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
Start the server in root of your application by running...
prerender server
You may optionally supply a port to listen on...
prerender server --port 8002
Compile an application from the root of your application by running...
prerender compile
You may optionally pass in a path to where you want the compiled assets to go...
prerender compile --output /path/to/cordova/project/www
Lib Usage
You may also use prerender as a node library for compiling or running as a server.
Serve up a prerender application...
var stealSrvPrerender = require("steal-srv-prerender")
stealSrvPrerender.server(projectPath [,args] [,callback])
Or compile steal-srv-prerender application
var stealSrvPrerender = require("steal-srv-prerender")
stealSrvPrerender.compile(projectPath [,outputPath] [, callback])
Or use as Connect/ExpressJS middleware
var express = require("express");
var stealSrvPrerender = require("steal-srv-prerender");
var app = express();
// Express 3
app.configure(function(){
app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/public"));
app.use(stealSrvPrerender.mount(__dirname + "/public"));
});
// Express 4
app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/public"));
app.use(stealSrvPrerender.mount(__dirname + "/public"));
TODO:
Make it extend able via npm install write a module loader for that steal-prerender-donejs make use of steal/use steal-prerender could offer a middelware to link all modules from the path
function npmls(cb) { require('child_process').exec('npm ls --depth 0 --json', function(err, stdout, stderr) { if (err) return cb(err) cb(null, JSON.parse(stdout)); }); } npmls(console.log);
npm.commands.ls(args, [silent,] callback) console.log(Object.keys(require('./package.json').dependencies));
we will probally use rootRequire try catched
---- https://gist.github.com/branneman/8048520#comment-1412502 2. The Global
In your app.js:
global.__base = __dirname + '/'; In your very/far/away/module.js:
var Article = require(__base + 'app/models/article');
- The Wrapper
Courtesy of @a-ignatov-parc. Another simple solution which increases obviousness, simply wrap the require() function with one relative to the path of the application's entry point file.
Place this code in your app.js, again before any require() calls:
global.rootRequire = function(name) { return require(__dirname + '/' + name); } You can then require modules like this:
var Article = rootRequire('app/models/article');
Install some module:
npm install app-module-path --save In your app.js, before any require() calls:
require('app-module-path').addPath(__dirname + '/app');
or Use NODE_PATH=. or project root for require
hacky method
process.env.NODE_PATH = __dirname; require('module').Module._initPaths();
I've been using symlinks with the following structure:
/node_modules
/package.json
/src
/node_modules
/client -> ../client
/server -> ../server
/shared -> ../shared
/client
/apps
/main
/test
main.spec.js
index.js
/modules
/foo
/test
foo.spec.js
index.js
/server
/apps
/modules
/shared
it also solves the problem of not know where the modules come from because all app modules have client/server/shared prefixes in require paths
