import { App, Router, Server } from 'wudu-server';
import IndexEndpoint from "./src/server/endpoints/IndexEndpoint.js";
// create new application
let app = new App();
// assign router to your app
app.router = Router.handler;
// add endpoint to your router
Router.addEndpoints(IndexEndpoint);
// run your app as a server
app.runServer({
protocol: Server.HTTP,

export default class IndexEndpoint {
static ['GET /'] (req, res) {

}
}client/index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>Hello, world!</body>
</html>You can start an HTTPS server by replacing the corresponding code in index.js by the following:
// run your app as a server
app.runServer({
protocol: Server.HTTPS,
port: 443,
options: { // corresponds to native NodeJS https config
key: fs.readFileSync('PATH_TO_KEY'),
cert: fs.readFileSync('PATH_TO_CERT'),
...
}
});node index.jsFeel free to open bugs, issues or suggest improvements here.
