I used this all the time! When you want to quickly serve a website or a page, or even mock a quick API, you can use python to start a server:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
This will automatically start a server on port 3000
serving files in the current directory. If you want to change the port, just append the port number at the end: python -m SimpleHTTPServer 4000
Using Python3:
python3 -m http.server
NOTE: python3 will start in 8000
as the default port.
Even better you can add an alias to your terminal, I use the following:
alias pserver="python3 -m http.server"
You can still adde the port like this: pserver 4000
.
Enjoy!!
