pico-dev v1.0.0

pico-dev

Tiny development server for web projects. Inspired by live-server

pico-dev is a super simple local development web server. It hosts a folder on your computer at a specified port. Any resource that's requested starts to be watched by pico-dev, and if that file changes the server emits update events to open pages.

By default pico-dev injects a websocket listener scripts into any request HTML reqources. It tries to hot-reload any updated style sheets or images, otherwise it just reloads the page. If the server is shut down, the pages will close too. Both of these functions are configurable

npm install --save-dev pico-dev
