Super simple web server for offline development and testing. Run servedir from a directory and it will run a simple web server serving up all files from that location.

Useful for when you're developing scripts that need a "normal" web environment, i.e. can't run from the file:// protocol.

Either through forking or:

npm install servedir

And servedir will be installed in to your bin path.

servedir can be run without any arguments and it will serve the current working directory on port 8000. If you've not used npm to install servedir, simply run it with node:

node servedir

• path - specify a location to serve from. Defaults to current working directory
• port - the port to run the server. Defaults to port 8000

Neither arguments are required, but if both are given must be path then port:

servedir ~/Documents/example 8001
