Apps: Client & Server
Client App using NPM
Here are the steps to create a simple app using npm and adding an HTTP server to serve the
index.html
file using npm script commands:
Create a new project folder, open terminal, and navigate to the folder.
2. Run the following command to initialize the project and create a
package.json
file:
npm
init
3. Install the
http-server
package as a dev dependency:
npm install http-server --save-dev
4. Create an
index.html
file in the project folder.
5. Add a script to the
scripts
section of the
package.json
file to start the HTTP server:
"start":
"http-server"
6. Start the HTTP server by running the following command:
npm run
start
7. Access the app by visiting
http://localhost:8080
in your browser.
Now you have a simple app that serves the
index.html
file using the HTTP server started by the npm script command.
