codelab: a command-line http server and a light weight browser code editor

codelab is a simple, zero-configuration command-line http server. It's very simple and hackable enough to be used for testing and local development.

Installing globally:

Installation via npm:

 npm install codelab -g

This will install codelab globally so that it may be run from the command line.

Running on-demand:

Using npx you can run the script without installing it first:

 npx codelab [path] [options]

Usage:

 codelab [path] [options]

Now you can visit http://localhost:3333 to view your server

Available Options:

-p or --port Port to use (defaults to 3333)

-a Address to use (defaults to 0.0.0.0)

-s or --silent Suppress log messages from output (defaults to false)

--open Open browser window after starting the server (defaults to true). e.g.: --open=false

--log-ip Enable logging of the client's IP address (default: true).

--log-user-agent Enable logging request's user-agent (default to false)

-h or --help Print this list and exit.

Development

$ npm i

Now you can visit http://localhost:3333 to view your server
