Single-command static hosting

now-serve

This project is now deprecated! Please read this instead. 😊

This packages makes it very easy to share directories using now!

How it works

When running the ns command, a temporary directory gets created. Within that directory, now-serve will insert a brand new package.json that conforms to now's requirements and therefore contains a start script that runs a new instance of list when being executed on our servers.

All of this happens completely automatically. So after running the command, the only thing you need to do is wait a few seconds until your files have been deployed and share the link! 💥

Usage

Install it (needs at least node v6)

$ npm install now-serve -g

Run it

$ ns <file | dir> [options]

You can find a list of all options below.

Options

Usage	Description
-h, --help	Output all available options
-V, --version	The version tag of the now-serve instance on your device
‑c, ‑‑cmd [command]	The command that should be run when starting
-n, --name [name]	The name for your deployment
‑p, ‑‑packages <names>	Custom packages to add to dependencies: "gulp, koa"
-a, --arguments	A string containing arguments that will be passed on to now: "force, debug" (basically the names of the flags but without dashes)
-s, --single	Serve single page apps with only one index.html in the root directory
--cache [seconds]	How long static files should be cached in the browser
