How do I serve static files through Node.js locally?

Question

I have the following file locations :

file:///Users/MyName/Developer/sitename/scripts (contains all .js files..)
file:///Users/MyName/Developer/sitename/css          


        

Answer 1

The easiest solution I found on serving local static files is to use Http-Server.

Its usage is dead simple. After installing it globally

 npm install http-server -g

Go to the root directory you want to serve

cd 
http-server

That's it!
