Today we will learn how to create an HTTP server for the local development of sites, it is a very cool tool to do tests and visualize how the website will look when it is hosted.
Pre-requisites:
Node.js is installed on your machine.
Create a folder for your project and open it in your favorite editor.
Create an HTML file(index.html) with the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<h1>Hello World</h1>
</body>
</html>
Open the terminal and type the following command:
npx http-server
This command will create a local server on port 8080. Open your browser and type the following URL:
http://localhost:8080
Done! You have created your first local server.
