A simple HTTP(s) server that can serve up any directory, built with Dart. Inspired by python -m SimpleHTTPServer.

Install

Use the pub global command to install this into your system.

$ pub global activate dhttpd

Use

If you have modified your PATH, you can run this server from any local directory.

$ dhttpd

Otherwise you can use the pub global command.

$ pub global run dhttpd

Here's an example of creating a web app with Stagehand and then running it with this server:

$ stagehand web-angular
$ pub get
$ pub build
$ dhttpd --path build/web/  # Serves app at http://localhost:8080

Configure

$ dhttpd --help
