wzrd
Super minimal browserify development server. Inspired by beefy but with less magic
installation
npm install wzrd -g
note that you must have a copy of browserify
installed as well. It can be either local (preferred) or global.
npm install browserify --save
usage
wzrd app.js
This will start a local development server (default of localhost:9966
) that serves all files in the current folder with the exception of app.js
, which will be browserified instead. wzrd
will spawn the command browserify app.js
and send the output bundle back to the client.
If no index.html
is present in the directory you run wzrd
in, one will be generated for you that has a <script src='app.js'></script>
in it.
mappings
You can also specify a mapping:
wzrd app.js:bundle.js
This means if a request to the server comes in for bundle.js
, wzrd
will run the command browserify app.js
and serve that.
multiple entries
wzrd app.js:bundle.js foo.js:bar.js baz.js
https
wzrd app.js --https
this will start a local https server (by default https://localhost:4443
) and generate a self signed SSL certificate. You will get a certificate error in your browser, but if you ignore the error the app should load.
passing extra args to browserify
wzrd app.js -- -t brfs
anything after --
will get passed directly to browserify
as arguments. so the example above would spawn the command browserify app.js -t brfs
pushstate server support
wzrd app.js --pushstate
if you want to leverage the html5 pushstate and support natural urls in your frontend application you can use the --pushstate
flag. This flag will instruct the wzrd server to always return index.html for any file not found request from your server.
