RNA Dev Server

A webapp server based on Web Dev Server.

RNA cli development is deprecated and discontinued. It's recommended to use RNA plugins directly in your projects using vite, esbuild, or other supported tools.

Install

npm i @chialab/rna-dev-server -D

yarn add @chialab/rna-dev-server -D

pnpm add @chialab/rna-dev-server -D

Usage

Start a web dev server that transforms ESM imports for node resolution on demand. It also uses esbuild to compile non standard JavaScript syntax.

Via import

import { serve } from '@chialab/rna';

/**
 * @see https://modern-web.dev/docs/dev-server/cli-and-configuration/
 */
await serve({
    // rootDir: '.',
});

Via cli

rna serve [options] [root]

Options:
  -P, --port <number>  server port number
  -C, --config <path>  the rna config file
  -h, --help           display help for command

Samples

rna serve

rna serve public --port 3000

As middleware

import { createServer } from 'http';
import { createDevServer, loadDevServerConfig } from '@chialab/rna-dev-server';
import express from 'express';

const app = express();
const server = createServer(app);
const config = await loadDevServerConfig({
    rootDir: 'src',
});
const devServer = await createDevServer(config);
await devServer.start(server);
app.use(devServer.callback());
