Options
const args = commandLineArgs([
{ name: "headers", alias: "h", type: JSON.parse },
{ name: "port", alias: "p", type: Number },
{ name: "forbid", type: String },
{ name: "log", type: Boolean },
{ name: "frontend", type: resolve },
{ name: "routes", type: resolve, defaultOption: true },
{ name: "postSize", type: String },
{ name: "host", type: String },
{ name: "expressRoute", type: Boolean },
{ name: "spa", type: String },
])Typical Usage
server --log --routes backend --watch package-lock.json
Note that --routes folder is automatically watched if specified.
If no --port is specified, then Node will randomly assign one. If --log is specified, a message including the port will be printed to the console in addition to the normal output logged.
By default, folders starting with _ cannot be routed to due to the default value of --forbid.
Serve Folder
server --frontend dist --port 4000
Environment Variables
server does not make use of environment variables directly but code executed via the routes folder can make use of them.
