bunk

a decidedly featureless, low dependency http server to serve static resource files, with cli support

Getting Started

Install it globally for use on the command line.

$ npm install -g bunk

CLI Usage

The most basic way to use bunk is to run on the terminal:

$ bunk

This will serve all static files within the current working directory at localhost:7070.

Options

For more "advanced" usage, include in the command:

  -d, --dir <dir>    directory of static files to serve, default: .
  -p, --port <port>  port to run http server on, default: 7070

For exmaple, to serve the directory build/production on port 1337, run on the terminal:

$ bunk -d build/production -p 1337

It is recommended, but not required, that you have an index.html within the root of the directory being served.

API Usage

Install it as a local dependency for use within another module.

$ npm install --save bunk
$ npm install --save-dev bunk

Then require and call bunk with or without options

var bunk = require('bunk');
 
bunk()
// => bunk: serving . on port 7070
 
bunk({dir:'build/production', port:1337})
// => bunk: serving build/production on port: 1337

Credits

This module was heavily inspired by an example usage of serve-static.
