@zipadee/dev-server

A simple dev-server CLI.

Overview

zpd is a web development server built with Zipadee. It serves JavaScript files
and rewrites npm-style module specifiers to be browser-compatible by resolving them to
on-disk paths.

Usage

``
zpd [options]
`

Options:

- --port, -p The port to listen on. (default: 8080)
- --root, -r Root directory to serve files from. (default: Current working directory)
- --base, -b Base directory to resolve paths and imports from, as a relative path
from the root directory. (default: '')
- --css-modules Whether to transform CSS modules to JavaScript.

If true, CSS imports - imports with a type: 'css' import attribute - will be transformed to remove the type: 'css' attribute and add a ?type=css--module query parameter to the URL.

Requests for these URLs will be served as JavaScript modules that export the CSS as a CSSStyleSheet object. (default: false)
- --help Show the help message (default: false)

zpd serves files from the specified root directory (default: cwd).

Absolute paths and JavaScript module specifiers are resolved relative to the
base directory if set, otherwise to the root directory. If a module specifier
resolves to a path outside of the base directory, it is rewritten to be relative
to the root directory by prefixing it with the a special root path prefix.

Example:

If you have a monorepo with packages at packages/foo and packages/bar
and you want to serve content from the package foo, you should set the root
to the monorepo root and base to packages/foo.

import 'bar' from within the foo package will be rewritten to import
'/__root__/packages/bar/index.js', and the server will serve the file from
packages/bar/index.js`.
