About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Create a simple HTTP server.
npm install @stdlib/net-simple-http-servervar httpServer = require( '@stdlib/net-simple-http-server' );Creates a simple HTTP server.
// Serve from the current working directory of the calling process:
httpServer();The function accepts the following options:
- dir: directory from which to serve files.
- port: server port. Default:
0(i.e., randomly assigned). - maxport: max server port (used when port hunting). Default:
=port. - hostname: server hostname.
- address: server address. Default:
"0.0.0.0". - open:
booleanindicating whether to launch a web browser.
By default, the server serves content from the current working directory of the calling process. To serve from an alternative directory (resolved relative to the current working directory), set the dir option.
var opts = {
'dir': './examples'
};
httpServer( opts );To obtain the server handle, provide a callback.
var nextTick = require( '@stdlib/utils-next-tick' );
function onReady( error, server ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
nextTick( close );
function close() {
server.close();
}
}
httpServer( onReady );var httpServer = require( '@stdlib/net-simple-http-server' );
var opts = {
'dir': './',
'port': 7331,
'hostname': 'localhost',
'open': false
};
httpServer( opts, clbk );
function clbk( error, server ) {
if ( error ) {
throw error;
}
// Give the user a few seconds to open her web browser before closing the server...
setTimeout( onTimeout, 5000 );
function onTimeout() {
server.close();
}
}To use as a general utility, install the CLI package globally
npm install -g @stdlib/net-simple-http-server-cliUsage: simple-http-server [options] [dirpath]
Options:
-h, --help Print this message.
-V, --version Print the package version.
-p, --port port Server port. Default: 0.
--maxport maxport Max server port. Default: `port`.
--hostname hostname Server hostname.
--address address Server address. Default: 0.0.0.0.
--open Launch a browser once server is ready.
The application recognizes the following environment variables:
DEBUG: enable verbose logging.PORT: server port.MAXPORT: max server port.HOSTNAME: server hostname.ADDRESS: server address.
- Command-line arguments always take precedence over environment variables.
To serve content from the current directory,
$ DEBUG=* simple-http-server
...To serve content from an alternative directory,
$ DEBUG=* simple-http-server ./examples
...This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
