http-server is a simple, zero-configuration command-line http server. It is powerful enough for production usage, but it's simple and hackable enough to be used for testing, local development, and learning.
Installation via npm:
npm install server-lxy -g
This will install http-server globally so that it may be run from the command line.
server-lxy [path] [options]
[path] defaults to ./public if the folder exists, and ./ otherwise.
Now you can visit http://localhost:8080 to view your server
Note: Caching is on by default. Add -c-1 as an option to disable caching.
-p or --port Port to use (defaults to 8080)
-0 Address to use (defaults to localhost)
-d Show directory listings (defaults to true)
