Sometimes you need to show someone some web pages. And you need to make sure only that the chosen person sees it. FlirtyHost will host a folder of static web content for you, and protect it with a simple username and password.
This is not intended for top secret projects. This is for convenience only!
Install the module with: npm install flirty-host
var FlirtyHost, app;
FlirtyHost = require('flirty-host');
app = FlirtyHost.host('./public', {
username: 'bert',
password: 'earnie',
maxAge: 600000
});
app.listen(3333, function(err) {
return console.log("server active on 3333");
});
Install globally, npm install -g flirty-host
Then type flirt
and you'll be prompted to provide the folder, port and login credentials you want to use.
FlirtyHost.host(<folder>, <options>);
- folder: The path to the folder you want to host. Defaults to the current folder
- options: A hash describing the following
- username
- password
- maxAge: How long a login session lasts in milliseconds
If you don't provide a username and password the content will be hosted without the need to login.

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using grunt.
