Gun-server

Simply start a gun server

Why

I write a bunch of these servers. This library takes 10 lines down to 1-2. What can I say, I'm lazy 😜

Usage

You can download it by running this in your terminal:

If you don't have node and npm, you can get it here

$ npm install gun-server

It exports a function that take optional configuration and returns your gun instance.

// import the server function
var startGunServer = require('gun-server')
 
// use said function
var gun = startGunServer()
 
// by default, it'll listen on http://localhost:8080

server([Object|Number|Function])

By default, the server starts on port 8080, but you can override it by passing a port number.

var server = require('gun-server')
server(3000) // starts on port 3000

Or if you pass a function, it'll be attached to the server as a request handler.

var server = require('gun-server')
server(function (req, res) {
    // request handler
})

If you pass an object, you can set the port, request handler, and gun instantiation options (or reuse an existing server).

server({
    handler: function (request, response) {
        // request handler (optional)
    },
    port: 8080, // default, optional
    server: new http.Server(), // optional
    options: {
        // this is passed to the gun constructor
 
        file: 'data.json' // default
    }
})
