Teeny Static Server is a simple, zero-configuration, command line HTTP server to serve static files locally.
DEPRECATION NOTICE: For newer Node versions support, please use https://github.com/aversini/node-cli/tree/main/packages/static-server
This command line utility can be installed globally or locally within your project. It does make more sense to have it installed globally though, since it then can be use anywhere by simply starting it to serve the files located in the current folder.
> npm install -g teeny-static-server> teeny-static-server [options] [path][path] defaults to the current folder if it's not provided at the command line prompt.
At that point, you should be able to visit http://localhost:8080 and see the files located in the current folder.

This package was heavily inspired from serve, with the intent to make a version that is simpler to use, with zero-configuration needed, but only supporting a subset of "serve" features, limited to local serving, and no support for SSL encryption.
