http-server is an easy-to-use, zero-configuration command-line HTTP server for serving static files during project development.
💻 To get started:
1. Install http-server globally:
Run this command in your terminal:
<pre class="preFormatted"><code class="codeFormatted">
npm install -g http-server
</code></pre>
2. Run the server without caching:
Disable caching to see file changes immediately by running:
<pre class="preFormatted"><code class="codeFormatted">
http-server -c-1
</code></pre>
3. Open your browser and navigate to:
<pre class="preFormatted"><code class="codeFormatted">
localhost:8080
</code></pre>
4. To quit the server, use:
Press `Ctrl + C` in your terminal to stop the server.
🔍 Note:
Disabling caching is great for development because it ensures that any changes you make to your static files are immediately reflected in the browser, without the interference of cached versions.
