Simple Static Http Server

A very light-weight and very simple static HTTP server based on node.js's built-in http module

---

Installation

npm install simplatic-http-server

Usage

1. Get access to the main class:

   const StaticServer = require('simplatic-http-server').default

   Or:

   import StaticServer from 'simplatic-http-server'

2. Instantiate:

   const staticServer = new StaticServer(portNumber /*, servePath = process.cwd() */) 

3. Listen to portNumber:

   await staticServer.listen(/* onListenCallback, onErrorCallback */)
    
   console.log(`The static server listening on ${portNumber} ...`)

   Or:

   staticServer.listen().then(
       () => console.log(`The static server listening on ${portNumber} ...`), 
       err => console.error(err)
   )

4. Get access to a file in servePath. E. g. type in your browser's address bar: http://127.0.0.1/dir/index.html (Note: The path of index.html must be `${servePath}/dir/index.html` on your local machine).

5. Turn it off when no more needed:

   await staticServer.shutdown(/* callback */)
