A basic HTTP server made using NodeJS which is lightweight, has a small footprint yet is powerful.
Usually, you would build a Node application and use a Node framework like Express JS to build and configure a server to serve that application. It is a one-one mapping, one application, one server. On the contrary yoda is a simple HTTP webserver which allows you to host multiple front-end applications 🙂
You can either clone the repository or download the archive and unzip it
Nope! This application does not have any npm dependencies and is ready to use OOTB 😎
Open your favourite CLI pointing to the root of the application and execute
node .\server.js
Anyone trying to make a front-end application (ReactJS/Angular/HTML/CSS/JS/JSON/Images)
By default, you can create/deploy your application under webapps directory. However, this can be changed in the config.json
| Property | Default |
|---|---|
| base | /webapps (required) |
| host | localhost (default) |
| -h | Command line property to pass a host name |
| port | 3333 (default) |
| -p | Command line property to pass a port |
| deploy | /examples (default, this allows you to have more than one deployment directory) |
| -d | Command line property to pass a deployment directory |
| info | false (set to true to display server configuration details, false by default) |
| -i | Command line property to enable showing server configuration on console |
| ignore | { directories: Array of directories that can be ignored } |
| imageTypeExtensions | Array of various type extensions for image files that are allowed to be served |
It's quick, simple and lightweight 😉
