eider

fast, lightweight & highly opinionated development server for quickly building prototypes or proof-of-concepts, using Jade, LESS and browserify

Installation

$ npm install eider -g

Usage

The directory you run eider in will be served at /:

$ eider

fires up a server at localhost port 8080.

Now /foo (as well as /foo/index.html) will try to look for /foo/index.jade, /foo/styles/style.css will return /foo/styles/styles.less compiled and /foo/js/index.js will return a browserified version of that file. Every other request will just try to be resolved by a static asset.

You can also specify a port to be used when starting eider:

$ eider --port 1337

Buyer beware

This is not intended to be used in any kind of production setting, please don't even start to think about anything like that.

"eider", wtf?

The UK's heaviest duck, and its fastest flying.
