Deferred Server

Install

npm install deferred-server -g

Usage

cd <directory>

deferred-server start

Deferred server will serve the files in <directory>

http://localhost:3000/<file-name.ext>/<delay in milliseconds>

For instance if there's a db.json file in the current directory, to server this file with 5 seconds delay:

http://localhost:3000/db.json/5000

To Serve the file with no delay:

http://localhost:3000/db.json/0 or simply http://localhost:3000/db.json

Options

Setting the port -p

deferred-server start -p 4040

-p is optional and if it's missed the default port will be used which is 3000.

Setting the allowed origin -o

Deferred Server accepts requests from all domains by default, for security reasons it's possible to set the specific origin:

deferred-server start -o http://localhost:4040

The origin option also accepts RegExp values:

deferred-server start -o https?://([a-z0-9]+[.])*localhost[:][0-9]+

Enabling the credentials -c

This option is to enable credentials if server needs to process requests which contain credentials.

This option is enabled by default, to disable the credentials:

deferred-server start -c false

Replacing the 204 status code -r

Some older browsers and smart TVs have issues in dealing with 204 success status code, this option is to replace the 204 status code with 200.

This option is enabled by default to disable the code replacement:

deferred-server start -r false
