Serve static files on localhost with http & https.
npm install super-simple-web-server
Clone repo and run npm install in the root directory.
npm start [</path/to/web/root>] [</path/to/some/middleware>]
Default path is your current working directory. Override by passing an optional path to your desired web root directory.
Default ports are 3000 (http) and 3001 (https). These can be changed in index.js.
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.
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);
}
