now-x-static

Deploy optimized static Single Page Applications using now

• Static file serving
• Default route is set to /index.html
• Allows to proxy API requests from /api to your endpoint to avoid CORS complications
• Optimized cache headers
• Gzip resources
• Customizable by ejecting the configuration

Install

Globally install:

$ npm install -g now-x-static

Usage

Deploy current folder:

$ now-x-static

Deploy another folder

$ now-x-static ./build_folder

Deploy with proxy from /api to api.company.com

$ now-x-static -a `api.company.com`

How it works

Since "now" has support for Docker, now-x-static configures an Nginx Dockerfile and deploys it using "now" (You do not need Docker/Nginx installed)

A Dockerfile and default.conf files are copied to your static folder and are removed after the deploy.

Proxy API calls

In order to avoid CORS, now-x-static can set a proxy from /api to an endpoint of your choice:

$ now-x-static -a https://api.company.com 

Customization

Eject the Dockerfile and default.conf by running

$ now-x-static build_folder -e

Customize the files and use "now" to deploy

$ now --docker build_folder

Alternatives

• serve uses node for static file serving with fallback to index.html

No. This is my personal project, built in the spirit of the now eco-system.
