@grapes-agency/simple-spa-server v1.3.1
Simple SPA Server:
simple-spa-server is our standard static file server to serve SPA assets (index.html, js/css bundles etc.).
It does not do much more than just serve the files and use mime-types to set a Content-Type header. For production deployment we would expect a fully configured reverse proxy in front.
What it can do in addition to that is inject env variables into your index.html by placing a <script> tag in the HTML head which will set a process.env object on the window.
These variables can be picked from a provided .env file (using dotenv) or from the server side process.env or both.
Installing:
Installation via npm:
npm install @grapes-agency/simple-spa-serverThis will install into your local node_modules and make the command simple-spa-server available in node_modules/bin (can be used in npm scripts that way).
