Readme
super-simple-web-server
Serve static files on localhost with http & https.
TO INSTALL
npm install super-simple-web-server
or
Clone repo and run npm install in the root directory.
TO RUN
npm start [</path/to/web/root>] [</path/to/some/middleware>]
Default path
Default path is your current working directory. Override by passing an optional path to your desired web root directory.
Default ports
These can be changed by passing through environment variables when starting the server:
SSWS_HTTP_PORT = http port (defaults to 3000)
SSWS_HTTPS_PORT = https port (defaults to 3001)
Default IP
The default IP 127.0.0.1 which should convieniently map to localhost.
Pro tip: Setting USE_LOCALHOST = false in index.js will instead scan for existing bound IP addresses on your machine via os.networkInterfaces(). The last available will be used.
Point to some middleware
To add middleware set the third arg to a path that resolves to a file exporting a function like so...
module.exports = (app) => {
app.use(someCoolThingHere);
}About the self-signed certifictes
Fictious self-signed certs are provided for your development convienience. They will exprire on June 6 2028. Obviously -- you don't want to use these for anything other than private testing in your own bathtub.
See ./certs/ for more info...
